conducted by the Veterans Emergency 

Management Evaluation Center at the

patients during and after a natural 

disaster. The proposed survey will 

support this effort by providing VA 

stakeholders with high-quality 

information to inform the development 

of a disaster preparedness 

communication plan to reach Veterans 

with different communication needs.

households.
