The National Disaster Housing Task Force (NDHTF) provides a full-time, multi-agency focus on disaster housing related issues and seeks to elevate the significance of disaster housing preparedness in all jurisdictions. FEMA will conduct a public teleconference with the National Advisory Council (NAC) to brief them and gather feedback on the NDHTF Practitioners' Guide to Disaster Housing (Practitioners' Guide) document currently under development by the NDHTF.

The Practitioners' Guide will provide guidance for State, Tribal, territory, and local disaster housing assistance practitioners to develop disaster housing strategies that improve responsiveness. It emphasizes the cooperative efforts required to provide disaster housing assistance by encouraging the involvement of private sector and non-governmental agencies.

The meeting is open to the public. Persons with disabilities who require special assistance should advise the Designated Federal Officer of their anticipated special needs as early as possible. 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 described in the ADDRESSES section.
