SUMMARY: The Office of Human Services, Emergency Preparedness and 
Response (OHSEPR) is the emergency management office of the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Administration for 
Children and Families (ACF). OHSEPR is requesting a 3-year extension of 
the Immediate Disaster Case Management Intake Assessment tool (OMB 
#0970-0461). The content of the form has not changed. There is one

information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: OHSEPR leads HHS's and ACF's 
disaster human services missions conducted under the National Response 
Framework's Emergency Support Function 6 (ESF 6), Mass Care, Emergency 
Assistance, Temporary Housing, and Human Services. OHSEPR's ESF 6 
disaster operations include implementation of disaster human services 
case management missions to connect disaster survivors to resources and 
services that support their individual and family recovery from 
disaster.
    The primary purpose of the information collection pertains to the 
implementation of OHSEPR's delivery of case management services to 
individuals and households impacted by a disaster. OHSEPR's disaster 
case managers collect information during intake assessments that is 
utilized to identify a disaster survivor's unmet needs and connect them 
with resources. OHSEPR also utilizes this information to target 
resources and improve its disaster human services operations.
    The information collection will be used to support OHSEPR's goal to 
quickly identify critical gaps, resources, needs, and services to 
support state, local, and non-profit capacity for disaster case 
management and to augment and build human service capacity where none 
exists. All information gathered will be used to (1) provide case 
management services to survivors and (2) inform the delivery of 
disaster case management services and programmatic strategies and 
improvements.
    Respondents: Individuals impacted by a disaster.
