The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is asking the public and other federal agencies for input on their information collection activities, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. This request focuses on gathering data related to community resilience and disaster studies, such as responses to wildfires, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Public comments are accepted until June 10, 2025, to help evaluate the utility and burden of the collection process. The goal is to improve safety and resilience against disasters in U.S. communities through voluntary participation in surveys and interviews.
