L-952: NIMS ICS All-Hazards Public Information Officer (PIO)
This course is designed for a Public Information Officer (PIO) assigned to an incident as a member of an All-Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT) and local IMTs, as well as for the PIO assigned to an incident as an Assistant PIO in a variety of capacities.
This course will help participants develop a strong set of core PIO skills and the ability to apply them within the context of an AHIMT. This course is also distinct from other information function courses in that it combines elements from both the basic and advanced functions to concentrate training on the fundamental duties and responsibilities of the PIO in an all-hazards environment. The course material does not assume or require experience as a PIO, but also is not a basic PIO course.
This course is an instructor-led training that supports learning through discussion, lecture, and active participation in multiple exercises that provides a realistic, scenario-driven approach to mastering the skills required of a PIO. Exercises, simulations, discussions, and a final exam enable participants to process and apply their new knowledge.
Prerequisites: NIMS ICS Position Specific training should be completed by personnel who are regularly assigned to functional, support, or unit leader positions on Type III or Type IV All-Hazards Incident Management Teams (AHIMT), or by those persons who desire to seek credentials/certification in those positions. Required: IS/ ICS - 100, 200, 300, 700 and 703. Recommended: ICS- 400, AHIMT Course or C&G Local Training.
