Common use of Relationship to the Public Clause in Contracts

Relationship to the Public. Each facility is responsible for developing and coordinating internally, and locally, with appropriate organizations, especially the media, on how each party will coordinate communication in a disaster. A Joint Information Center (JIC) is an ideal structure for coordinating information releases. Designating a Public Information Officer (PIO) in each facility helps coordinate communication via the JIC to the public. PIOs normally work with Command Staff to develop a facility response to cover its most likely events. Parties are encouraged to have their PIO work with other party PIOs to familiarize one another with each other’s protocols for addressing the media, and to practice JIC coordination.
