(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

More information on the REP Program can be found online at *http://www.fema.gov/about/divisions/thd_repp.shtm.* Dated: September 2, 2011. W.
