Abstract: FEMA Headquarters and regional staff review completed applications to select 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. Applicants for the YPC apply by downloading a PDF application from FEMA’s website. They can either complete the written form or they can answer the questions in the form of a short video. They must then download their application and submit the application and related documents, including reference letters and academic records, to FEMA via the FEMA-Youth-Prepareness-Council@fema.dhs.gov email address. Fifteen youths are selected to serve as a council member.
