The Governor's Emergency Management Advisory Council (GEMAC) is created by statute and is charged with advising the Governor on all matters that relate to emergency management in Maryland. The GEMAC serves as an independent advisory body, comprised of subject matter experts from a wide range of disciplines, backgrounds, and geographic areas including local emergency responders and individuals broadly representative of business interests, public utilities, and other communities throughout Maryland.
