SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEMA Youth Preparedness Council (YPC)
was formed to bring together youth leaders from across the country who
are highly interested and engaged in advocating youth preparedness and
making a difference in their communities. This collection meets the
requirements of 6 U.S.C. 742, National Preparedness, and Presidential
Policy Directive--8 (PPD-8) which emphasize the need for involvement
from all sectors of society in preparing for and responding to threats
and hazards.
This application form is used to select interested council members
based on dedication to public service, efforts in making a difference
in their community, and potential for expanding their impact as a
national advocate for youth preparedness.
Council member activities and their involvement in the Council are
in alignment with goals 5.2. and 5.3 from the Quadrennial Homeland
Security Review (QHSR). Members are expected to represent the youth
perspective on emergency preparedness and take information back to
their communities to share. Council members are expected to develop and
complete preparedness-related projects.
Youth apply using personal identifiable demographic and contact
information, which FEMA retains confidentially for the purposes of
providing acceptance/denial responses to applicants and determining a
representative sample of applicants. Letters of recommendation and
academic records are required, while supplemental materials
highlighting past achievements are encouraged.
