SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of this meeting is required under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-463, as amended (5 
U.S.C. App. 1 et seq.).
    The Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management 
Agency (DHS/FEMA) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
(HUD) have recently begun work on an initiative to Strengthen Disaster 
Recovery for the Nation. At the President's request, the Secretaries of 
Homeland Security and Housing and Urban Development are co-chairing a 
Long Term Recovery Working Group composed of the Secretaries and 
Administrators of more than 20 departments, agencies, and offices. This 
high-level, strategic initiative will provide operational guidance for 
recovery organizations as well as make suggestions for future 
improvement. An intensive stakeholder outreach began in November 2009, 
involving State, local, and Tribal government representatives, as well 
as a wide array of private organizations and private non-profit 
organizations, to inform these efforts. As a continuation of the 
stakeholder engagement effort, FEMA will be conducting a public 
teleconference with the National Advisory Council to brief them on the 
discussions that took place with stakeholders in November and to obtain 
the council's input on disaster recovery management issues and 
opportunities.
    The meeting is open to the public. Although members of the public 
will not be allowed to comment orally during the meeting, they may file 
a written statement with the NAC before the date of the meeting. For 
those wishing to submit written comments, please follow the procedure 
noted above.

    Dated: November 17, 2009.
W. Craig Fugate,
Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency.
