SAC should reflect this focus on building core capabilities, instead of simplyjoining previously existing advisory bodies tinder other grant programs. The SAA roust ensure that appropriate representation from defined UASI -faded Urban Areas is included on the SAC. FEMA strongly encourages that, wherever possible, previously established local working groups be leveraged for this purpose to ensure that UASI resources are managed in the most efficient and effective manner possible. The UAWG should also support State efforts to develop the THIRA and SPR, particularly as it relates to UASI activities. For designated Urban Areas, the SAA POCs are responsible for identifying and coordinating with the POC for the UAWG, who should be a member of the SAC. The POC's contact infornation must be provided to FEMA with the grant application. SAAB must work with existing Urban Areas to ensure that information for current POCs is on file with FEMA. Finally, FEMA recommends that organizations advocating on belialf of vulnerable populations including youth, the elderly and individuals with functional needs, socio- economic factors and cultural diversity, be invited to participate in the SAC. 2.
