Activities; Submission to the Office of

Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Understanding the Human
Response to Water Hazards: A Social
Network Analysis
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite 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. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on November
24, 2023, during a 60-day comment
period. This notice allows for an
additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Understanding the Human
Response to Water Hazards: A Social
Network Analysis.
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(New information collection).
Number of Respondents: 790.
Average Hours per Response: Semistructured interviews: 1 hour; Survey:
15 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 227.50
Hours.
Needs and Uses: 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
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 two 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.
Affected Public: Local government,
Not-for profit, and individuals or
households.
