IFSTA Public Information Officer - first edition

Providing accurate and timely information to the public during periods of emergency or disaster is a vital part of emergency management. This book discusses the important areas of public information from pre-incident planning to response. It starts with an overview of public information, the media, and the role of public information. It provides guidance on how to provide information and news releases, help for setting up press conferences, and suggestions for presentations to community groups. Some of the forms illustrated in the book are included in Adobe PDF format on a disk inside the back cover. The forms can be printed on either a Windows or Mac computer or they can be modified to suit your circumstances. While the book is written and intended for the fire service, the information it contains can be adapted to other disciplines easily. Its size and format make it convenient to carry on a command vehicle for use when ncessary.
