The
NAC is a Federal advisory committee of up to 35 members that advises the FEMA

coordination with state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, and the
private sector on federal plans, programs, and strategies for all hazards.
The NAC provides consensus recommendations to the Administrator and gives
FEMA access to expertise, information, and advice on a broad range of issues.
Topics of recent recommendations included provision of medical
countermeasures, duplication of benefits in the Individual Assistance
Program, and tribal partnerships training.
NAC
members represent a geographically diverse mix of officials, emergency
managers, and emergency response providers from all levels of government,
non-governmental organizations, tribes, and the private sector. Individuals
appointed to these positions represent the whole community and bring their
experience and expertise, along with their diversity of views and willingness
