FEMA Accepting Applications for the Youth Preparedness Council

FEMA is accepting applications for the Youth Preparedness Council. All applications are due no later than midnight on March 6.  If you know a teen interested in preparedness and community service, encourage them to apply. 

FEMA will host an applicant information session on Feb. 17 for those interested in learning more about the council and the application process.

Members of the council work on projects that help increase preparedness in their communities.

They share their opinions, experiences, ideas and solutions with FEMA leadership and participate in the annual Youth Preparedness Council summit.

We spoke to three members of the current council to find out more about their experiences. Visit the FEMA Blog to read their stories.
