Full Description: Course Date:

8:00AM - 5:00PM

This training has been designed to orient the student to the public information function and the role of the public information Officer in the public safety and emergency management environment. Public information Officer (PIOs) in public safety and emergency management organizations are responsible for ensuring that the affected public receives accurate and timely information during an emergency. Armed with good information, people are better able to make good decisions and by doing so, contribute to the overall response goal of saving lives and protecting property. The goal of this training is to provide participants with the skills and tools that those new to the position of PIO or with limited experience can use to effectively communicate with external audiences on a daily basis. This course is part of a tiered training approach in that it provides the foundation for more advanced training that takes participants from the awareness level to the mastery level in their public information careers. This course is a prerequisite for Basic PIO training, followed by the Advanced PIO course.

G289: Public Information Awareness is part of a tiered PIO course system and is a recommended prerequisite for the G290: Basic Public Information Officer course, which must be completed in order to attend E388: Advanced PIO Course at FEMA's Emergency Management Institute.

Target Audience:
Emergency responders. Emergency management personnel, including fire and law enforcement who have either full or part time responsibilities for public information in their communities or departments.
