FEMA-NRC Joint emergency preparedness and response Focus Group script

Radiological Emergency Preparedness Tribal Focus Group

We are from the newly formed Joint Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Tribal Working Group (FNTWG) and we are interested in getting your thoughts and insights on the topics of most interest or most significant for Tribes and Nations who have equities in nuclear and radiation safety and security. In particular, we are seeking your feedback and input on radiological emergency preparedness and response (REP) topics that would be of most interest to Tribes with equities related to nuclear or radiological production facilities.

We will use your feedback to generate the agenda for a broader meeting with 33 Tribal Nations who have REP equities. The purpose of the meeting is to establish an on-going dialogue and coordination with this group in the area of nuclear and radiological emergency preparedness and response.

1. What is your current position within your Tribe/Nation?

2. Are you aware of the equities your Tribe/Nation has in the area of REP?

3. What REP topics are of interest to your Tribe/Nation and why?

   1. What REP topics do you feel would be of most interest to the remaining 25 Tribes/Nations not represent at this Focus Group Meeting?

4. Is there anything we haven’t covered that you believe will make the Joint FEMA/NRC TWG effective in its efforts to engage Tribal Nations in the area of REP?
