#  Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements Under Emergency Review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

*Title:* Administration for Children & Families (ACF) Electronic Case Management System (ECMRS).

*OMB No.:* Revision of 0970-0461.

*Description:* The recent climatic events of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma have created catastrophic disasters in Texas, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida. President Trump has declared these climatic events as major disaster declarations. FEMA is providing assistances to these states and territories under declaration numbers DR-4332 & DR-4337.

There are looming public health issues related to flooding, and especially among at risk populations. Risks include contracting water‐borne and vector‐borne diseases, substance abuse, and mental health concerns, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and homelessness.

Therefore, it is essential for the mission of ACF to activate the Immediate Disaster Case Management (IDCM) Electronic Case Management Record System (ECMRS). The ECMRS will be used to collect and manage information from the disaster affected clients. This information includes demographics, disaster caused unmet needs, and referrals provided. The information collected is critical to develop a recovery plan for each survivor.

*Respondents:* Clients.

| Instrument | Number of | Number of | Average | Total burden |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Immediate Disaster Case Management | 406,500 | 1 | 1 | 406,500 |
