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

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.
