Public Information consists of the processes, procedures
and systems to communicate timely, accurate and accessible information on the
incident’s cause, size and current situation to the public, responders and
additional stakeholders (both directly affected and indirectly affected).
Public information must be coordinated and integrated across jurisdictions,
agencies and organizations; among federal, state, tribal and local governments
and with non-governmental organizations and the private sector.
Well-developed
public information, education strategies and communications plans help to
ensure that lifesaving measures, evacuation routes, threat and alert systems
and other public safety information are coordinated and communicated to
numerous audiences in a timely, consistent manner.
The purpose
of the State of Nevada Joint Information Center website is to provide an
integrated strategy of coordinated information at one location for all
citizens and to support statewide and local response efforts during
an emergency, disaster or major event.
