Emergency Public Information and Warning. Introduction <.. image(Press Conference Public Domain Image from xxxx://xxxx.xxx.xxx) removed ..> Emergency public information and warning (EPIW) is a term used by CDC to describe communications with the public during an emergency. EPIW is closely related to routine risk communication in that its purpose is to provide information to the public to reduce uncertainty and inform decision making. However, the emergency conditions under which messages must be developed and disseminated impose much tighter time constraints than are generally faced during routine operations. EPIW represents a critical leverage point in shaping the perceptions, decisions, and actions of the public, who are a key partner in preventing, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from public health emergencies. Public involvement and cooperation are required to facilitate response activities, such as evacuation, sheltering in place, social distancing, and queuing at points of dispensing (PODs). EPIW can be effective in influencing how the public responds to these activities. Note: EPIW is distinguished from tactical communication, which involves communication among responders, as well as other types of information sharing. For more information on EPIW, including training curricula and tools, go to xxxx://xxxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx/cerc/xxxxx.xxx.
Emergency Public Information and Warning. Definition: Emergency public information and warning is the ability to develop, coordinate, and disseminate information, alerts, warnings, and notifications to the public and incident management responders. Budget Period Short Term Goal: Goal 1: Leverage existing technologies to communicate with and inform the response partners and the general public during operational exercises, on-goingdrills, and responses. This short term goal will be measured and tracked through the documentation of drills and through the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of exercises and responses in After Action Reports and Improvement Plans (AAR/IPs). Goal 2: Sustain the ability of state, local, and healthcare facility public information officers to coordinate, develop, and disseminate public information through the conducting of and evaluation of at least one operational exercise. The ability of public information officers to determine the need for public information systems establish and participate in information systems, and establish avenues for public interaction and exchange will be quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated in the context of an AAR/IP.

Emergency Public Information and Warning. Function 1: Activate the emergency public information system Task 1. LPHA shall maintain a communication system and procedures whereby; physicians, hospitals, other health care providers, the public and Oregon Public Health Division (OPHD) can contact the LPHA to report public health emergencies within the LPHA service area. The communication system shall be operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. At a minimum, a ten digit and answered 24/7 telephone number must be maintained.
