The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is seeking comments on a new information collection effort. This initiative involves conducting the SAFECOM Nationwide Surveys to evaluate the emergency communications capabilities of responders across different levels of government. The surveys will help assess current capabilities and identify needs and gaps, with the data being shared with relevant emergency communication stakeholders. CISA aims to minimize the burden on respondents by offering various submission methods, including electronic forms. Comments on the proposed information collection are due by April 19, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to check how well people who respond to emergencies, like firemen and police, can talk to each other when there’s trouble. They are asking people to fill out surveys to figure this out and want to know what everyone thinks before they start.
