    The National Advisory Council (NAC) was established to ensure 
effective and ongoing coordination of Federal preparedness, protection, 
response, recovery, and mitigation for natural disasters, acts of 
terrorism, and other man-made disasters. The NAC advises the 
Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency on all aspects 
of emergency management. The NAC incorporates State, local and tribal 
government and private sector input in the development and revision of 
the national preparedness goal, the national preparedness system, the 
National Incident Management System, the National Response Plan and 
other related plans and strategies.
    Agenda: The NAC plans to discuss the March 30, 2011 Presidential 
Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) on National Preparedness. PPD-8 directs the 
Secretary of Homeland Security to develop 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. The NAC plans to finalize recommendations 
on the development of the preparedness goal and incorporation of these 
recommendations into the preparedness goal. The draft national 
preparedness goal has been posted to Docket ID FEMA-2007-0008.
