Course Title: Basic Public Information Officers Course
Training Provider: Alabama Emergency Management Agency
Duration in Days: 2.0 Days
Course Description
Public information consists of the processes, procedures and systems to communicate timely, accurate and accessible information to affected audiences. Armed with good information, people are empowered to make better decisions and thus contribute to the overall response goal of saving lives and protecting property. Personnel tasked with gathering, verifying, coordinating and disseminating public information at the federal, state, tribal, local and territorial levels bear this considerable responsibility concurrently with other job assignments. These Public Information Officers (PIOs) must be provided with the opportunity to learn and practice the skills they will use on the job.
The Basic Public Information Officer Course (G0290) is designed to provide participants with the opportunity to start applying basic concepts underlying the Public Information Officer (PIO) role. This course can provide a basic understanding of the PIO function for those new to the position.
This is the second course in the Public Information Training Series. This course is delivered at the state, local, tribal and territorial governments. Other courses are conducted as resident courses at the Emergency Management Institute (EMI). The courses build on each other enhancing students’ skills further at each level. This course uses Bloom’s Taxonomy as a guide to focus the course material to augment the knowledge and comprehension for new PIOs.
This course will consider the value of communication before, during and after an incident. It will help PIOs identify critical audiences, both internal and external.

AWR 148: Crisis Management for School-Based Incidents – Partnering Rural Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Local School Systems is an 8-hour, DHS-approved course designed to educate rural law enforcement personnel as well as school administrators and staff on the elements that would allow for an effective response to school-based emergencies. Schools in small, rural, and remote areas across the country account for almost 23 percent of the total student population (more than 11 million students). Rural schools, law enforcement, and other emergency responders are often limited in resources, so it is imperative that all potentially affected parties collaborate on planning, preparing, communicating, responding, and recovering from a school-based incident.
This tuition-free course is beneficial for rural police and sheriff departments, school administrators, school resource officers, counselors, and others involved in school safety and security. Topics covered include:
• Introduction to Incident Planning and Preparedness
• Proactive Threat Mitigation
• Incident Response
• Incident Recovery
• Vulnerability Assessments
• Threat Assessment Management
• Incident Defusing and Debriefing
• Parent Reunification
• Anniversaries, Memorials, Copy-Cats

LN-150 FRMAC Liaison Fundamentals Workshop
July 31, 2018
Farley NPP Joint Information Center – Headland, Alabama
Course Description:
The Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) is one of the nation’s radiation emergency responder assets. One of the methods that FRMAC uses to provide support is with the creation modeling and data products that present radiological dose assessments that are used to support emergency responder and public safety decisions. Typically in map or report form, these dose assessment products are a tool used to put the situation on paper such that the local decision makers can conceptualize the areas that have been affected by the radiation emergency. This workshop is a is a one day interactive session that is provided to offer a deeper level of discussion and awareness on the product set beyond the materials provided in the basic FRMAC overview presentations. The primary objective of this course is for students to achieve a foundation of knowledge with respect to the types of products that FRMAC can make, basic inputs needed to create the dose assessment products, and an understanding of the questions that typically are presented during a radiological emergency response. The workshop will focus on students interacting with the materials, and active learning through discussion. Successful completion of the course will require full participation in the learning activities and passing a final exam.
Audience:
All public safety and emergency management personnel that may have to coordinate with the FRMAC during a radiological event.
Prerequisites:
LN-100 Intro to FRMAC Liaison
Registration:
