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 the following NAC subcommittees:
Preparedness and Protection, Response and Recovery, Public Engagement
and Mission Support, and Federal Insurance and Mitigation. The NAC will
discuss ``Whole Community'' concept and how to effectively engage all
members of the community. In the area of flood risk mapping,
discussions will focus on messaging and risk perception. The
[[Page 55933]]
NAC will hold discussions on the Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-
8) on National Preparedness, the Strategic Foresight Initiative (SFI),
the Emergency Management Institute, and the Radiological Emergency
Preparedness (REP) Program. Additionally, members appointed on June 15,
2011, will be sworn-in during the first day of the meeting.
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.
FEMA launched the SFI to promote broader and longer term thinking
on world changes that can have major effects on the emergency
management community. More information on SFI can be found online at
https://www.fema.gov/about/programs/oppa/strategic_foresight_initiative.shtm.
FEMA established the REP Program to (1) Ensure the health and
safety of citizens living around commercial nuclear power plants would
be adequately protected in the event of a nuclear power plant accident;
and (2) inform and educate the public about radiological emergency
preparedness. More information on the REP Program can be found online
at http://www.fema.gov/about/divisions/thd_repp.shtm.
Dated: September 2, 2011.
