1 Dealing with the Media: A Short Course for Rural First Responders Course Design Document ILT April, 2010
2 Course Description Overview Dealing with the Media: A Short Course for Rural Responders is designed to provide rural first responders with the skills and knowledge to quickly adopt the role of public information officer (PIO) if/when needed and to communicate with the public through the media. Many rural first responder organizations do not have a full or part-time PIO on staff. Therefore, in the event that a first responder is thrust into the role of PIO, whether it be roadside at the scene of an emergency or detailing directions to the public in a crisis situation, it is important to understand how the media works and how best to work with the available media outlets. First responder organizations often appoint one or more of their colleagues to assume the role of talking with the media, or arranging and assisting with such contact, in both emergency and non-emergency situations. Many who assume this role, however, struggle with what to say or how to say it, and few have training in written or visual forms of media interviewing. They also often lack awareness of the importance of good media relations, forgetting the extent to which negative coverage can influence public opinion and affect the first responder organization s budget. This course provides training in these areas, giving rural first responders more confidence in their ability to communicate with the media, and ultimately, with the public. Scope Adapted from FEMA s IG-290 curriculum, this 6-hour course provides rural first responders with skills needed to communicate with the public through the media. Examines roles of the media and the rural first responder/public information officer. Participants learn how to give print/electronic media interviews, write news releases, provide information at the scene, and how they fit into the joint information system. Target Audience The target audience for this course is anyone who may act as a formal or informal PIO in the area of emergency management, EMS, fire service, governmental administrative, hazardous materials, health care, law enforcement, public health, public safety communications, and public works.
