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 National Frameworks as outlined in
Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) on National Preparedness, the
Public Assistance (PA) Bottom-Up Review, Emergency Management
Performance Grant (EMPG) Program, Whole Community within Strategic
Foresight Initiative (SFI), Youth Preparedness Strategic Framework, and
FEMA Workforce Transformation. A FEMA Program Office will brief the NAC
on Emerging Topics in Emergency Management during lunch, scheduled for
12:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. EST, additionally; new members will be sworn-
in.
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.
The PA Grant Program provides assistance to State, Tribal and local
governments, and certain types of Private Nonprofit organizations so
that communities can quickly respond to and recover from major
disasters or emergencies declared by the President. More information
can be found at http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/pa/index.shtm.
EMPG provides funding to assist State and local governments to
sustain and enhance all-hazards emergency management capabilities. More

SFI promotes broader and longer term thinking, how the world is
changing and the effects on the emergency management community.
Thinking more broadly and over a longer timeframe will help us
understand these changes and their potential impacts. More information
