longitudinal effort to assess Complex Event Resilience of Smalland Mediumsized Enterprises SMEs during the COVID19 pandemic. This effort was approved by the NIST Office of the Associate Director for Laboratory Programs, providing time for this work to be conducted.
As COVID19 conditions persist, populations around the U.S. and the world have and will continue to experience heat waves, floods, hurricanes, fire, and drought during the period of virus transmission and into the period of recovery e.g., Phillips et al., 2020. There were 22 $1 billion extreme weather events in 2020. SMEs in areas vulnerable to natural hazards and disasters are particularly noteworthy in the context of COVID19.
The goal of this longitudinal effort is to inform NIST research and recommendations as well as provide Federal partners e.g., FEMA, NOAA, and SBA with insights into how SMEs think about disaster readiness during the pandemic, both the transmission and recovery periods. The first and second waves of data collection took place during summer 2020 and fall 2020/winter 2021, respectively and were approved under the NIST Generic Clearance 06930078.
A third wave of data collection is proposed in order to address the research goals as SMEs begin to recover from the pandemic. This effort addresses the gap in research on the experiences of SMEs dealing with complex events generally and those that arise during a pandemic, specifically.
This longitudinal study accounts for SME vulnerabilities, which may further amplify the impacts of a singular or complex event.
Proposed respondents to this data collection have already registered their interest in participation in the data collection during Wave 2. The proposed collection is critical to understand the resilience of SMEs, which in turn allows NIST to refine recommendations relevant to SMEs.
This is critical as SMEs and the communities in which they exist plan for future events while continuing to recover from COVID19 impacts.
Affected Public: The private sector.
Frequency: Once.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Coastal Ocean Program COP, now known as the Competitive Research Program CRP under the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, provides direct financial assistance through grants and cooperative agreements for research supporting the management of coastal ecosystems and the NOAA RESTORE
Science Program RSP. The statutory authority for COP is Public Law 102
567 Section 201 Coastal Ocean Program. NOAA was authorized to establish and administer the Restore Science Program, in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, by the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies RESTORE of the Gulf States Act of 2012 Pub. L. 112
141, Section 1604. Identified in the RESTORE Act as the Gulf Coast Ecosystem restoration Science, Observation, Monitoring, and Technology Program, the Program is commonly known as the NOAA
RESTORE Science Program. In addition to standard government application requirements, applicants for financial assistance are required to submit a project summary form, current and pending form, and a key contacts form for both programs. CRP recipients are required to file annual progress reports and a project final report using CRP
formats. The RSP are required to file semi-annual progress reports, a final report, and a Gantt chart showing project milestones using RSP formats.
