Course Name:
G 289 Public Information Officer Awareness Training
Course Description:
The one-day Public Information Officer Awareness Course (G0289) is designed to familiarize participants with the concepts underlying the PIO role. This course can provide a basic understanding of the PIO function for those new to the position. Additionally, it can provide those in executive level roles the necessary knowledge of PIO roles and responsibilities during an emergency.
Course Prerequisites:
Recommended: There are no prerequisites for taking the G0289 course. However, participants are encouraged to take the following online courses offered through the Independent Study section of the FEMA website: IS0100.b, Introduction to Incident Command System (or ICS course for specific specialty: healthcare, public works, etc.); IS0702.a, NIMS Public Information Systems; and IS0909, Community Preparedness: Implementing Simple Activities for Everyone
Course 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 federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial level of government, and in the private and nongovernmental sectors.
A secondary audience for this training includes individuals who would benefit from a general understanding of the emergency public information function.
