Public information Officer (PIO) is at the forefront of managing the inflow and outflow of communication, especially in the wake of an emergency situation. According to Gluckman et al (2015), the PIO oversees the generation and dissemination of crucial information related to the incident. He/she coordinates the other groups to ensure that all the messages are accurate and prompt to avoid potential breakdown. As such, their role is central to the entire response process as it facilitates critical decision-making that determines the outcomes of the exercise. Public Information Officers rely heavily on the media to execute their mandate effectively. The media is a vital platform through which the organization reaches out to the public and other stakeholders affected by the crisis (Gluckman et al. 2015). When it comes to risk communication activities, PIOs utilize the media in various ways. First, PIO should inform the media of the organization’s awareness of the crisis. This message should also indicate the agency is actively involved in the response process (DeVine Jr, 2008). Additionally, the PIO should monitor the media to ensure that all the information relayed to the public is accurate and in tandem with the proceedings on the ground. Lastly, providing regular updates will ease the tension and erase any prospective misconceptions. Even before the actual incident, the PIO should establish and maintain a positive relationship with the media(DeVine Jr, 2008). The primary way through which this can be achieved is becoming a resource for local media outlets. In this context, regular press releases highlighting the agency’s undertakings can increase visibility. Similarly, inviting the media to provide coverage for organizational events will boost the collaboration. Lastly, corporate partnerships can also enhance the relationship. For example, coming together in corporate social responsibility activities meant for benefiting the community can foster the chemistry between the two parties and ease cooperation when an emergency arises.

In Ciottone’s Disaster Medicine (pp. 143–148). The role of PIOs ( Public Information Officers ) is to be able to collect, assess, and share verified information with the public and the media via press briefings, website management, and social media coordination. As such, PIOs must develop procedures and protocols for the release of warnings, incident notifications, public communications, and other critical information through a defined combination of networks used by the emergency operations center. The PIO is a valuable part of a community’s emergency management team. The information provided by the PIO sets the tone of the response and recovery story and may provide critical information to save lives and protect those in harm’s way. In times of disaster, PIOs need to create strategic plans to collect, verify, and disseminate information to the community to warn the public of the crisis and to direct evacuation and other protective measures. Before any incident, there is a role for the PIO to assist with outreach activities such as programs designed to educate the public about local threats and hazards, and potential mitigation techniques. In addition, a PIO could develop outreach materials that promote family or business preparedness and mitigation strategies that are targeted to the community based on the community makeup to include various cultures and languages, and to aid people with special needs. The PIO must be sure to maintain the capability to communicate valuable information about evacuation, sheltering, and other important disaster response and recovery information to the entire community, including individuals with special needs. Individuals with special needs include those with cognitive and functional needs, as well as language barriers. Reference: Spokane Emergency Management Emergency Support Function #15.
