All-Hazards Position-Specific: L952 Public Information Officer
Monday, Sep 16 – Friday Sep 20, 2019 (5-day course)
Pierre, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
This course is designed for a PIO assigned to an incident as a member of an All-Hazard Incident Management Team (AHIMTs), 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 students 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 function to concentrate training on the fundamental duties and responsibilities of PIO in an all-hazard environment.
The course material does not assume or require experience as a PIO, but also is not a basic PIO course. Exercises, simulations, discussions, and a final exam enable students to process and apply their new knowledge.
Audience: Personnel who are assigned or have the potential to be 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.
