Local Advisory Committees are made up of local people who represent a diverse range of community interests. We seek people who:

• are leaders in their community, with the ability to communicate to a broad range of interest groups
• want to use their experience to make their community safe and better prepared for emergencies
• are well-connected and can engage with a range of networks and communities of interest to gather a wider perspective
• have a good understanding of local risks and issues
• have governance experience
• are analytical and strategic thinkers.
