Incident Joint Information Center (JIC)
Incident Joint Information Center (JIC) : "A virtual JIC is established when a physical colocation is not feasible. It connects PIOs through e-mail, cell/land-line phones, faxes, video teleconferencing, web-based information systems, etc. For a pandemic incident where PIOs at different locations communicate and coordinate public information electronically, it may be appropriate to establish a virtual JIC". (FEMA, Basic Guidance for PIOs, Nov 2007, 16)
