The NAC
consists of up to 40 members, all of
whom are experts and leaders in their
respective fields. The NAC is an
advisory committee established in
accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. ch. 10. As required by
the Homeland Security Act, the
Secretary of Homeland Security
established the NAC 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. Appointees may be
designated as a Special Government
Employee (SGE) as defined in section
202(a) of Title 18, U.S.C., or as a
Representative (Rep.) member. SGEs
speak in a personal capacity as experts
in their field and Representative
members speak for the stakeholder
group they represent.
FEMA is requesting that individuals
who are interested in and qualified to
serve on the NAC apply for appointment
to an open position in one of the
following six discipline areas: Climate
Change SGE, Communications SGE,
Elected Government Official Rep.,
Emergency Management Rep.,
Emergency Response Provider Rep., and
In-Patient Medical Provider SGE. The
Administrator may appoint up to two
(2) additional candidates to serve as
FEMA Administrator Selections (as SGE
appointments). Please visit https://
www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/
documents/fema_nac-charter_2022.pdf
for further information on expertise
required to fill these positions.
Appointments will begin December
2024, for 3-year terms or for the
remainder of an existing term that is
open. If other positions open during the
application and selection period, FEMA
may select qualified candidates from the
pool of applications.
If you are interested, qualified, and
want FEMA to consider appointing you
to fill an open position on the NAC,
please submit an application package to
the Office of the NAC as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice. There

position title and employer or
organization you represent, home and
work mailing addresses, preferred

you would like consideration; why you
are interested in serving on the NAC;

packages and make selections based on:

management experience; (3) expert
knowledge in identified discipline area;

expectations. FEMA will also consider

diversity (including, but not limited to

experience, consistent with applicable
law) and mix of officials, emergency
managers, and emergency response
providers from state, local, tribal, and
territorial governments, when selecting
members.
In order for DHS to fully leverage
broad-ranging experience and
education, the NAC must be diverse
with regard to professional and
technical expertise. DHS is committed
to pursuing opportunities, consistent
with applicable law, to compose a
committee that reflects the diversity of
the nation’s people. If there are aspects
of diversity that you wish to describe or
emphasize in support of your
candidacy, please do so within your
cover letter.
DHS does not discriminate based on
race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
sexual orientation, gender identity,
marital status, political affiliation,

organization, or other non-merit factor.

candidate pool for all its recruitment
actions. Current DHS and FEMA
employees, including FEMA Reservists,
are not eligible for membership.

apply. Candidates selected for
appointment as SGEs are required to
