CAP has had several very high profile missions in the past few years and it is very important to have qualified information officers on the ground to assist Incident Commanders. Getting the right information out at the right time can sometimes mean lives may be saved.

These materials can be a starting point for the new and experienced MIO.

Additional Training Opportunities FEMA IS-250 and IS-702

FEMA's Emergency Management Institute (EMI) has developed a new NIMS IS-250 training course on Emergency Support Function 15 (ESF 15) regarding External Affairs under the new National Response Framework.  The course is presented in five video modules, so your computer must be equipped with speakers and video software such as Windows Media Player.  The course takes about one hour to complete and is available free online at:
www.training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is250.asp

The IS-250 training course is intended for FEMA External Affairs staff and public affairs personnel from other federal agencies that are signatories to the National Response Framework.  However, state, local, and other
Response Partners that could participate in a Joint Information Center during an incident of national significance under ESF-15 guidance may find this course helpful.

FEMA also offers a NIMS IS-702 course on Public Information Systems that is recommended (but not required) for Public Information Officers and JIC staff who would participate in a Joint Information Center under NIMS
Incident or Unified Command.  The IS-702 course takes about three hours to complete and is available free online at:  www.training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is702.asp

Both IS-250 and IS-702 require that you pass a 25-question multiple-choice exam after the online training in order to receive a certificate of completion.
