Abstract: AmeriCorps seeks renewal of the current information collection. AmeriCorps uses the information collected through Disaster Response Cooperative Agreements (DCRAs) to more effectively use its deployable resources to meet the needs of disaster-affected communities. An understanding of the participating programs allows AmeriCorps to match the capabilities of the programs to the needs of the communities and will allow better asset mapping and resource typing. This information collection helps AmeriCorps identify and deploy programs effectively and efficiently, and ensures interested programs meet the appropriate programmatic and fiscal requirements to successfully execute disaster response activities. Additionally, the collected information will allow AmeriCorps to conduct better outreach to interested programs by providing them with more information about the agency's disaster procedures, reimbursement requirements, and support services offered. The forms under the DRCA help the agency efficiently collect information during a disaster event as well as assess the capacity of all DRCA programs throughout the year. Forms are completed electronically and emailed to AmeriCorps. A revision to this information collection is requested to include a new reporting form for non-mission assignment disaster response. The current application is due to expire on March 31, 2024.
