6.2. Develop Community-Wide and Partner Messaging Strategies

Public alert and warning play a vital role in minimizing additional exposures as critical response actions need to be rapidly communicated to a wide audience. During the planning process, the warning methods available (and their efficacy) and the critical information that needs to be provided should be identified. Emergency management planners should also consider investing in public information and family reunification capabilities, including the expansion of pre-scripted messages as part of the emergency alert system and formalization of the regional joint information system. These can be used to rapidly disseminate actionable information to the public even before the details of the incident are known (see KPF 3, Communicate with External Partners and the Public).
