§11331 Emergency Food and Shelter Program National Board

Summary

Creates the Emergency Food and Shelter Program National Board and requires the FEMA Administrator to set it up. The board has the FEMA Director plus six members the Director appoints. The first members must be named not later than 30 days after July 22, 1987. Each of the six must come from people nominated by one of these groups: United Way of America; The Salvation Army; the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.; Catholic Charities U.S.A.; the Council of Jewish Federations, Inc.; and the American Red Cross. The Director is the board’s chair. Unless the law says otherwise, the board makes its own rules. When these members are appointed, the earlier national board under Public Law 99–500 or 99–591 ends, and its staff, property, records, and any undistributed funds transfer to the new board.
