On the duties of county PIO |
|
July 31, 2017 |
Dear Rosanne Smith: (See "Where's
the info?")
The Public Information Officer is the single
point within Boundary County for public
information. When Boundary County has something
to say, this is the office it originates from
and is delivered to the public and all media
outlets.
The Public Information Officer is not always
used for information from the various agencies
within the County. Each agency sometimes issues
their Press Releases, not using the Public
Information Officer. This is completely
acceptable as the Public Information Officer is
not normally needed in
everyday news, but rather used for focusing on
the big picture for situations that involve all
of us here within Boundary County.
The Public Information Officer Press Releases
are posted on the “Emergency
Management – PIO” on Facebook along with the
Boundary County Webpage,
http://www.boundarycountyid.org.
These same Releases are delivered to 50
different news agencies within the State
providing a well established written record.
Our goal is for the Public Information Office to
provide concise, truthful information as needed
in the County. |
Michael N. Meier
Boundary County Idaho
Director of Emergency Management
Public Information Officer
