    The NAC advises the FEMA Administrator on all aspects of emergency 
management. The NAC incorporates state, local, and tribal government, 
and private sector input in the development and revision of FEMA plans 
and strategies. The NAC includes a cross-section of officials, 
emergency managers, and emergency response providers from state, local, 
and tribal governments, the private sector, and nongovernmental 
organizations.
    Agenda: On Tuesday, May 23, the NAC will hear about priorities 
across FEMA regions from the Region IV team and receive briefings on 
Federal Insurance and Mitigation as well as Protection and National 
Preparedness.
    On Wednesday, May 24, the NAC will hear from the Office of Response 
and Recovery, and will engage in an open discussion with the Acting 
FEMA Administrator. The three NAC subcommittees (Federal Insurance and 
Mitigation Subcommittee, Preparedness and Protection Subcommittee, and 
Response and Recovery Subcommittee) and the GIS Ad Hoc Subcommittee 
will provide reports to the NAC about their work, whereupon the NAC 
will deliberate on any recommendations presented in the subcommittees' 
reports, and, if appropriate, vote on recommendations for the FEMA 
Administrator. Potential recommendation topics include (1) more 
effective use of technology in emergency management, (2) better 
incorporating access and functional needs and others with disabilities 
into emergency management training, (3) incorporating local mitigation 
investments into the state credit under the disaster deductible 
concept, and (4) better data standards, especially for geospatial data.
    On Thursday, May 25, the NAC will review potential topics for 
research before the next in-person meeting, review agreed upon 
recommendations and confirm charges for the subcommittees, and receive 
a briefing on the National Incident Management System.
    The full agenda and any related documents for this meeting will be
