In an event where coordination of public information officers (PIO) from other agencies or entities is required, a Joint Information Center JIC may be activated from a mutual aid agreement or a memorandum of understanding within the campus but will not necessarily be in direct response to an incident on campus.
When an incident of large geographical effect or a disaster declaration requires a joint front in communications to the media or public, such as a pandemic, the College’s PIO may be deployed to the JIC at the County or State level.
