FEMA recently released this “Coffee Break Training”. I thought it would be good to share with NIOA members that may not have seen it.
From the document:
Public Information Officers (PIOs) play a major role in communicating fire safety and prevention information to the public after residential fires. To make the most of these teachable moments, it is important to know what to do and say before, during, and after an interview with the news media.

From time to time, I’d like to share content and information that I think might help NIOA members with their communication efforts.
Recently, the Hobson and Holtz Report (ForImmediateRelease.biz) podcast provided audio of Katie Delahaye Paine’s presentation at the Sixth Annual New Communications Forum. This was held in San Mateo, California April 20-23, 2010.
The audio is a bit rough in places, but the content may be very helpful to you as you try to determine your time, effectiveness, investment and the cost of using social media.
You can download the FIR podcast (mp3, 21.9Mb, 54:47)
Download a copy of Paine’s Powerpoint presentation.
Many thanks to Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson for their work in providing communicators with information such as this.
More about Katie Delahaye Paine, as provided on the podcast website:

I received this document today from Joe Laud of Houston PD. I thought perhaps it would be a nice reference for all of us in the NIOA. Thanks, Joe, for sharing.
Attached is an Adobe Acrobat file (2008-12-08 NIMS Training Grid.pdf) containing a 2009 NIMS Training Grid listing all of the NIMS required and recommended training courses for various Emergency Response and Incident Management (EOC/MACS) personnel at federal, state, local, private sector, and non-government organizations. Please forward to appropriate personnel within your organization.
FEMA’s Emergency Mangement Institute has created new “a” or “b” versions of its IS-100, 200, 700, and 800 training courses that are now available free online. If you have already completed the older versions of these courses, you do NOT need to re-take the new versions; NIMS certification is good for five (5) years. However, new students should take the latest available version of each course.
