    Abstract: This collection will allow ICPD to gather the following

public website (called the ``Preparedness Portal''). This collection 
facilitates FEMA's ability to assess its progress for the following 
programs:

 Ready 2 Help (www.ready.gov/game)
 You Are the Help Until Help Arrives (www.ready.gov/until-help-arrives)
 Event Registration (www.ready.gov/prepare) (includes 
Prepareathon event registration)
 Collections where ICPD partners with other National 
Preparedness Directorate (NPD) offices

    As new programs or initiatives are created, ICPD will leverage the 
pre-approved questions in the question bank provided for this 
collection. Known future activities include:

 Community-Based Organization Continuity and Resilience 
Training
 Website User Experience Feedback

    ICPD uses this information to inform the continuous improvement of 
the programs and the Division's outreach. Further, the information 
allows the Division to analyze seasonal trends in preparedness across 
the variety of programs. Raw data is not shared outside of the 
database; only results of the data assessment is shared. The data is 
used for internal reports as well as public-facing talking points.
