For nearly the past 10 years, FEMA has chosen a handful of high-performing public information officers (PIOs) from across the country to participate in their capstone training program: Master Public Information Officer. The Master PIO program is a 10-month, three-course series that prepares PIOs for an expanded role in delivering public information and warning using a strategic whole community approach. A program requirement is to write a research paper that will contribute to the body of knowledge for PIOs nationwide. NAGC has selected three research papers from the 2023 MPIO graduating class to share as a resource for crisis communications. Each has a one-page executive summary/Abstract on Page 1. This month, we are featuring "Narrative Framework Can Influence Public Behavior Before a Weather-related Crisis: Public Information and Strategic Storytelling" by Linda Wickstrom, MPIO. Check out Linda's paper here: https://bit.ly/47gDuKl Learn more about the MPIO Program here: https://bit.ly/4dSazio #NAGC #PIO #GovComms #Research #PublicInformation #PublicAffairs #Communications #DisasterCommunications #RiskCommunications
