WASHINGTON—The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced
today that Administrator Brock Long has appointed 12 new members and
reappointed one current member to serve three-year terms on FEMA’s
National Advisory Council
[https://www.fema.gov/national-advisory-council] (NAC). Administrator
Long also selected Mike Sprayberry, Director of the North Carolina
Division of Emergency Management, to serve as the Vice Chair of the
NAC, alongside NAC Chair Jim Featherstone.

“I look forward to working with the National Advisory Council, and
am excited to appoint these individuals to the NAC,” said
Administrator Brock Long. “Their experiences and expertise will add
great value to the NAC.”

The NAC is an advisory committee established by federal law to ensure
effective and ongoing coordination of federal emergency management
activities. The NAC provides advice to the FEMA Administrator through
recommendations on all aspects of emergency management. For example,
the NAC recently made recommendations on building and enhancing
technology-related capabilities and community preparedness with regard
to nuclear power plant decommissioning.

The NAC consists of up to 35 members, including a diverse
cross-section of officials, emergency managers, and emergency
responders from state, local, and tribal governments, non-governmental
organizations, and the private sector. In this year’s open
application period, FEMA received more than 170 membership
applications to fill the 13 open positions. The qualifications of each
candidate were carefully considered during an intensive review process
that included a recommendation panel of senior government officials
