§    Explaining the Disaster Public Affairs structure on a local level.

 

 

 

§    Preparing any Red Cross employee or volunteer to effectively respond to local media inquiries and to proactively present Red Cross messaging.

 

 

 

 

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in case-based scenarios, group exercises, practice activities and open discussions. These participatory activities reinforce important concepts and meet segment objectives.  PREREQUISUITES: Fulfilling Our Mission and Disaster Public Affairs Overview (on-line course).
