How did the V/F
PIN get started?
In the first exercise of its kind in the nation, public information officers
from Volusia and Flagler counties attended the Federal Emergency Management
Agency’s Advanced Public Information Officer training in Emmitsburg, Md., in
April 2004. These public information practitioners represented a wide range
of agencies including city and county governments, law enforcement,
fire services, ambulance, hospitals, and public schools. They trained
together and implemented a unified “mock” joint information center (JIC).
An end result of the Emmitsburg experience was the molding of a public
information network that comes together during emergency incidents to
provide mutual aid public information support to one another within the
counties of Volusia and Flagler. It is formally known as the Volusia/Flagler
Public Information Network (V/F PIN).
What is the main objective of the V/F PIN?
The main objective of the V/F PIN initiative is to ensure that public
information practitioners from a wide variety of public agencies in the
two-county region will collaborate on and coordinate public information by
having a focused message to the public to avoid misinformation and
miscommunication.
In addition, the PIN’s operating principle is that public information
resources are available to support an incident’s lead agency/incident
commander irrespective of agency boundaries.
A major task assignment coming out of the Emmitsburg training was to write a
public information plan for the V/F PIN. The plan was completed in February
2005 and has been employed during subsequent incidents including hurricanes
and wildfires.
How have V/F PIN members collaborated?
Since its formation, there have been several instances of V/F PIN members
coordinating and working together on incidents involving multiple agencies
and where there was a widespread public threat.
The PIN managed a “virtual” JIC during the back-to-back 2004 hurricanes –
Charley, Frances and Jeanne.
What are the primary tools of the V/F PIN?
In 2005, the PIN launched its own web site. During a disaster, this site
includes information from all the agencies involved in a response.
In 2007, the group revised the JIC plan to be compliant with the National
Incident Management Systems, thereby creating
a Joint Information System (JIS) plan.
How do I get involved?
Today the Volusia/Flagler PIN consists of more than 40 active members who
meet monthly to train, share ideas and discuss experiences. With each
incident the PIN continues to improve, gain experience and refine its
operating plan. The PIN meetings are the second Thursday of the month from 3
- 4:30 p.m.; locations vary. For more information, please contact Volusia
County Community Information at (386) 822-5062 or
Sszafraniec@co.volusia.fl.us.
Activation information
To request public information support from the Volusia/Flagler PIN, the lead
agency should page the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office public information
office at (386) 691-2460 or Volusia County Community Information at (386)
691-0488.
