* VISTA projects will not report data on Goal 1 Performance Measures, but they will indicate Goal 1 Performance Measures with which the organizations that the projects support align. For example, a VISTA project supporting an organization that conducts programs that help children succeed in school would be aligned with the appropriate Education: K-12 Success Performance Measures.

* AmeriCorps grantees participating in the FY2010 or FY2011 National Performance Measures Pilots should continue to reference the instructions for those Measures. The definitions and instructions here may differ from those in the Pilots. See more information on FY2010 National Performance Measures Pilot and FY2011 National Performance Measures Pilot.

Performance Measure D1

Number of individuals that received CNCS-supported services in disaster preparedness.
Goal 1: Disaster Services: Assistance Provided

Definition of Key Terms

CNCS-supported services: Could be a variety of different kinds of supports to help the individuals have a higher quality of life, but cannot only be referrals to federal services without supplementary assistance. The assistance may be delivered by phone, e-mail, or in person. It may be delivered individually or as a group.

Preparedness: Actions that involve a combination of planning, resources, training, exercising, and organizing to build, sustain, and improve operational capabilities. Preparedness is the process of identifying the personnel, training, and equipment needed for a wide range of potential incidents, and developing jurisdiction-specific plans for delivering capabilities when needed for an incident.

How to Calculate/ Measure/ Collect Data

Unduplicated count of individuals that received CNCS-supported services in disaster preparedness.

The data should be collected using a tracking mechanism appropriate for the type of service, such as: CNCS-supported agency's call center records, referral logs, sign-in sheet, client tracking database, or other information management system.
