Collection of Information

    Title: Survivor Sheltering Assessment.
    Type of Information Collection: Currently approved information 
collection with change.
    OMB Number: OMB No. 1660-0142.
    Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form 09-0-42, Survivor Sheltering 
Assessment.
    Abstract: When a Presidential federally declared disaster or 
emergency occurs, impacted survivors often find themselves temporarily 
housed in shelters until they are able to return to their homes or find 
other housing solutions while they recovery. A FEMA employee will 
interview individual survivors located in shelters regarding the 
registration status and housing situation using an electronic copy of

Environment (DMSE CE) database. The purpose of this survey is to help 
FEMA understand how best it can support survivors as they transition 
out of temporary shelters. No information given will be used to 
determine eligibility for assistance. Eligibility for assistance will 
only be determined through the separate registration process.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 31,200.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 31,200.
