The FEMA Youth Preparedness Council brings together 15 youth leaders from across the country who are engaged in advocating for preparedness. Members are selected based on their efforts in making a difference in their communities. During their two-year term, members complete local- and national-level projects and share regarding youth disaster preparedness with the leadership of FEMA. Members also attend the annual Youth Preparedness Council Summit in Washington, D.C. each summer. The application period for the next youth co-hort opened February 19 and closes March 31, 2019.
