{"Image DocumentName": "Joint Information Center (JIC)", "Image ImageDescription": "IS-700.A: National Incident Management System, An Introduction. Joint Information Center (JIC) A JIC: May be established to coordinate public affairs functions. Serves as a focal point for coordinated and timely release of incident-related information to the public and the media. Present the following information: In order to coordinate the release of emergency information and other public affairs functions, a Joint Information Center (JIC) may be established. The JIC is: A central location that facilitates operation of the Joint Information System. A location where personnel with public information responsibilities perform critical emergency information functions, crisis communications, and public affairs functions. The JIC serves as a focal point for coordinated and timely release of incident-related information to the public and the media. Information about where to receive assistance is communicated directly to victims and their families in an accessible format and in appropriate languages for those with limited English proficiency. JICs may be established at all levels of government, at incident sites, or can be components of Multiagency Coordination Systems (i.e., EOCs and the Joint Field Office). A single JIC location is preferable, but the system is flexible and adaptable enough to accommodate virtual or multiple JIC locations, as required.
