SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: N/A.
    Title: VA Disaster Resilience Survey of Community Dwelling 
Veterans; VA Form 10-21086(NR).
    OMB Control Number: 2900--NEW.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Abstract: The proposed study is being conducted by the Veterans 
Emergency Management Evaluation Center (VEMEC) of the U.S. Department 
of Veterans Affairs. The mission of VEMEC is to promote the health and 
social welfare of America's Veterans and the Nation by initiating and 
coordinating projects aimed at developing evidence-based practices for 
use in mitigating against, preparing for, responding to, and recovering 
from national emergencies and natural disasters. In so doing, VEMEC 
helps to ensure timely access to high-quality health care for our 
nation's veterans. The proposed study will be a one-time study of all 
VA patients in the United States. We will survey a sample of Veterans 
who at the time of fielding received care from any VA healthcare system 
in the U.S. at least once in the past 24 months. Health status, 
socioeconomic status, and other factors can impact a Veteran's 
resiliency/vulnerability during major disaster.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
