SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of this meeting is given under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. (Pub. L. 92-463). The
National Advisory Council (NAC) advises the Administrator of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on all aspects of emergency
management. The NAC incorporates State, local, and Tribal governments,
and private sector partners' input in the development and revision of
FEMA policies and strategies. FEMA's Office of the NAC serves as the
focal point for all NAC coordination.
Agenda
The NAC will meet for the purpose of reviewing the progress and/or
potential recommendations of its four subcommittees: Preparedness and
Protection, Response and Recovery, Public Engagement and Mission
Support, and Federal Insurance and Mitigation.
The NAC will discuss the Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) on
National Preparedness, the Campaign to Build and Sustain Preparedness,
the National Mitigation Framework, the National Response Framework, the
National Preparedness Goal, the Emergency Management Institute (EMI),
Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) program, National
Disaster Recovery Framework, and the personal disaster assistance and
individual assistance programs. A FEMA Program Office will brief the
Council on Emerging Topics in Emergency Management during lunch,
scheduled for 12:20 p.m. PST to 1:20 p.m. PST.
PPD-8, signed on March 30, 2011, directs the development of a
national preparedness goal that identifies the core capabilities
necessary for preparedness and a national preparedness system to guide
activities that will enable the Nation to achieve the goal. PPD-8
replaces Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8 (HSPD-8) and Annex
1. More information on PPD-8, the Frameworks, and the National
Preparedness Goal, may be found at http://www.fema.gov/prepared/ppd8.shtm.
EMI serves as the national focal point for the development and
delivery of emergency management training to enhance the capabilities
of State, local, and Tribal government officials; volunteer
organizations; FEMA's disaster workforce; other Federal agencies; and
the public and private sectors to minimize the impact of disasters and
emergencies on the American public.
EMPG provides funding to assist State and local governments to
sustain and enhance all-hazards emergency management capabilities. More
