- develop a report that identifies and describes the potential areas of duplication or fragmentation in post-disaster declarations in federal assessments of data collection methods and data collected and program delivery after post-disaster declarations;
- determine the applicability of having one federal agency make the assessments for all agencies;
- identify potential emerging technologies, such as Unmanned Aircraft Systems, to expedite the administration of disaster assistance assessments; and
