SUMMARY:RPIE /Strategic Planning Training
DESCRIPTION:Public-sector communicators are often expected to move quickly\, respond to competing requests\, and deliver tactics on tight timelines. In that environment\, planning is frequently compressed or skipped altogether\, making communication decisions harder to explain\, defend\, and evaluate. \nThis in-depth\, in-person CAPIO regional workshop focuses exclusively on the RPIE framework\, Research\, Planning\, Implementation\, and Evaluation\, a nationally recognized planning model and the gold standard used in the Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) process. Rather than treating RPIE as a template or academic exercise\, this session emphasizes how the framework functions as a practical decision-making tool for real-world public-sector communications.

SUMMARY:FEMA E/L0388 Advanced Public Information Officer
DESCRIPTION:The National Response Framework (NRF) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) devote significant attention to the importance of emergency public information. Public Information Officers are key members of the ICS and EOC organizations\, and work closely with officials who are part of Multiagency Coordination Groups. PIOs advise the Incident Commander\, Unified Command\, and EOC director on public information relating to incident management. \nWith public information included as a function within NIMS and within ICS\, it is critical to address and provide training for this important element of Emergency Management. \nThe National Disaster & Emergency Management University (NDEMU) Public Information Officer (PIO) training curriculum includes courses delivered at the awareness\, basic\, advanced and master levels. The basic level course was developed by NDEMU and is managed by NDEMU or state emergency management trainers who teach basic skills and techniques for use during small\, localized\, single-agency responses; preparedness campaigns; and escalating localized responses. \nThe advanced level course teaches participants additional skills for use during escalating incidents\, including strategic communications and incident action planning as it relates to Joint Information Center (JIC) operations.

SUMMARY:CAPIO Power Lunch Webinar: Cutting Through the National Noise with Local Polling
DESCRIPTION:Every headline seems to tell the same story: inflation is crushing families\, government is broken\, the American dream is slipping away\, and taxes are too high. Against that backdrop\, it’s natural for public agencies to question whether local opinion research still matters—or whether community sentiment simply mirrors the national mood. \nThe reality is that local polling cuts through national noise. \nPolling gives policymakers and communicators confidence grounded in real\, local data. When agencies learn that satisfaction with parks\, libraries\, public safety\, utilities\, and other core services remains strong\, they gain permission to be bold\, shifting the narrative from national pessimism to community resilience. \nThis session explores how cities\, counties\, and special districts have used polling and resident research to highlight local successes\, counter negative assumptions\, build momentum for tax measures\, and clearly communicate value. Through real-world examples\, attendees will see how polling becomes the foundation for more credible storytelling\, stronger policy conversations\, and more effective public engagement.
