The National Advisory Council (NAC) was established by the enactment of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Response Act of 2006 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 National Advisory Council advises the FEMA Administrator on all aspects of emergency management. The National Advisory Council incorporates State, local, and tribal governments 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.

The National Advisory Council is no longer seeking applicants. The deadline to submit applications was March 9, 2012. We are currently reviewing applications and anticipate making an announcement about appointments around June 15, 2012. Thank you for your interest in the National Advisory Council.
