This intensive five-day training equips PIOs with the skills needed to communicate effectively during emergencies and work within a Joint Information Center (JIC). The course includes hands-on exercises, group activities, and real-world scenarios to help participants manage information during high-pressure situations.

Joey’s completion of this training strengthens our ability to provide accurate, timely updates to the community during emergencies.
