Emergency Public Information (EPI) 1
Emergency Public Information (EPI) 1 : "The EPI function gives the public accurate, timely, and useful information and instructions throughout the emergency period. The EPI organization initially focuses on the dissemination of information and instructions to the people at risk in the community. However, the EPI organization also must deal with the wider public's interest and desire to help or seek information. People may call to find out about loved ones. They may call to offer help, or simply send donations. They may even urge Federal action. Good, timely information can help prevent overloading a jurisdiction's communications network, its transportation infrastructure, and its staff". (FEMA, Guide for All-Hazard Emergency Operations Planning (State and Local Guide (SLG) 101), 1996, p. 5-D-1)
