Brief Description: This course instructs on the functions and role of the PIO in the emergency management environment.

Full Description: This course is designed to acquaint participants with the concepts underlying the Public Information Officer (PIO) role. Taken alone, this course can provide a basic understanding of the PIO function for those new to the position. Additionally, this training is a prerequisite and foundation for more advanced training that takes participants from the awareness level to the mastery level in their public information careers.
Emergency PIOs 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.

This course will orient the participants to the public information function and the role of the PIO in the public safety /emergency management environment.

-Define emergency public information and the Public Information Officer (PIO) function.
-Describe how written products are used to support public information activities.

public information.
