Public Information Officer Awareness (G289 )

The NJOEM will be conducting a training seminar on the new updated Federal Emergency Management Agency awareness training program for Public Information Officers (PIO). This course is recommended as a prerequisite for attendance at the 2-day Basic PIO Course (G290). At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

· Define emergency public information and the PIO function.
· Describe how written products are used to support public information activities.
· Describe how the PIO can work effectively with the news media to communicate emergency public information.
· Apply basic PIO skills to public awareness campaigns.

Target Audience: The primary audience for this training is individuals who have public information responsibilities as their main job or as an auxiliary function at the State or local level of government. A secondary audience for this training includes individuals who would benefit from a general understanding of the emergency public information function. This audience would include elected and other officials with responsibilities that would necessitate their working with PIOs or the news media during an emergency incident.
