I. Abstract
This is a request for a new collection
of information. The Social, Behavioral,
and Economic Sciences Program (SBES)
in the Office of Science and Technology
Integration for the National Weather
Service (NWS) is sponsoring this data
collection effort.
Under the Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law, the NWS SBES Program was
provided funding to better understand
the human responses to water hazard
services and products. This project
seeks to understand and mitigate
flooding outcomes for riverine

AGENCY:

The Department of
Commerce, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to comment on
proposed, and continuing information
collections, which helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. The purpose of this
notice is to allow for 60 days of public
comment preceding submission of the
collection to OMB.
DATES: To ensure consideration,
comments regarding this proposed
information collection must be received
on or before January 23, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments to
Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer,

communities, especially those that rank
high on the Centers for Disease Control’s
(CDC’s) Social Vulnerability Index
(SVI), by conducting a Social Network
Analysis (SNA) to study how
stakeholders within 2 selected
communities, Roanoke, Virginia and
Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Based
on interviews with local government
leaders and faith/community-based
organizations (FCBOs) along with a
survey of residents, the resulting SNA
will map how messages are created and
distributed, how they are accessed and
understood, and how the information
affects the decisions of emergency and
water resource managers, first
responders, community partners, and
the general public as they prepare for,
respond to, and recover from flooding
events. While the NWS possesses some
anecdotal knowledge of the
dissemination and use of flood
forecasts, a more complete accounting
and formal analysis of the individuals
and groups within these networks are
needed. Ideally, the findings from the
SNA in relation to the water hazard
products and services will not only
improve the NWS’s understanding of
who the stakeholders are, but also how
they use the information provided and
what they believe are the benefits for
their constituents.
The primary driver for this project
comes from the direction of NOAA
leadership to develop a social
behavioral infrastructure with data that
supports the NWS in providing
equitable service delivery for all of its
products and services. Based on
H.R.3684 Infrastructure Investment and
Jobs Act (IIJA), Provision 3: funding
shall be used for coastal and inland
flood and inundation mapping and
forecasting, next-generation water
modeling activities such as modernized
precipitation frequency and probable
maximum studies, and transformative
foundational social science research that
build infrastructure and supports
equitable service delivery to all
communities. This project also aligns
with Goal 3 of the NWS Strategic Plan
to transform our Agency to meet current
and future needs of society by (3.6)
delivering actionable inland and coastal
water resource and inundation
information across all time scales to
address the growing risk of flooding,
drought, and low water flow as well as
immediate and long range water
management and planning; and by (3.8)
understanding and applying the best
social, behavioral, and economic
sciences to clearly communicate
information with communities in
multiple languages and deliver

equitable service for those historically
underserved and socially vulnerable to
attain the desired response to high
impact events.
Semi-structured interviews will be
utilized to collect information from state
and local government leaders, as well as
FCBO leaders. A survey will be
provided to residents of both
communities, along with an in-person
intercept survey provided to residents of
Greenbrier County based on interviews
with the FCBO leaders.
The SNA maps derived from the data
collected will be utilized by the
following NWS offices:
• Community Engagement Program to
support outreach and engagement
activities with specific groups and the
organizations that serve these
populations.
• The Decision Support Integration
Branch of the Analyze, Forecast, and
Support Office to help them identify
and recruit organizations, businesses,
and individuals who may be well
poised to become Weather-Ready
Ambassadors. The raw data collected
will be used by:
• The Social, Behavioral, and
Economic Sciences (SBES) Program in
the Office of Science and Technology
Integration in developing an Agent
Based Model (ABM) that can
demonstrate, describe, and potentially
anticipate evacuation and mobility
behaviors within a prescribed system for
inland flooding events. If possible, the
application of an ABM will support the
development of mitigation efforts that
stakeholders can test to understand how
the actions of specific agents within a
system could possibly alter outcomes of
flooding events for a community.
II. Method of Collection
The semi-structured interviews will
be conducted, either face-to-face or via
video conferencing technology based on
schedules and participant preference.
The survey responses will be collected
via a web platform called REDCap,
while the intercept surveys will be
fielded by the contractor and conducted
face-to-face during invited community
events.
