Section 9: Communications • Designate spokespersons and subject matter experts; • Expedite the clearance process for release of information; • Participate in a Joint Information Center (JIC) as appropriate. Specific strategies for accomplishing the last three activities are described below. Spokespersons and Subject Matter Experts The State Health Commissioner, or her designee, will be the primary spokesperson regarding emergency health issues related to pandemic flu and for issues related to the human health risk of HPAI. Subject matter experts representing the Center for Community Health (Dr. Guthrie S. Birkhead), Division of Epidemiology (Dr. Perry Smith), Bureau of Communicable Disease Control (Dr. Barbara Wallace); Immunization Program (David Lynch, Dr. Debra Blog), Zoonoses Program (Dr. Millicent Eidson, Dr. Bryan Cherry), Office of Science and Public Health (Dr. Dale Morse), Office of Health Systems Management (David Wollner), and Wadsworth Laboratory (Dr. Lawrence Sturman) will support the primary spokesperson(s) and may serve as secondary spokespersons if their specific expertise is required. Information Release and Joint Information Center During a Pandemic Period, to update public information and provide recommended action steps in a timely manner, NYSDOH will facilitate expedited review and clearance of communication products, share public messages with key communication partners and participate in a Joint Information Center (JIC). The purpose of a JIC will be to facilitate a one-voice response; serve as the clearinghouse for accurate, timely information; and enhance the dissemination of health information essential to an effective health emergency response. • All information materials for public dissemination will be cleared through the appropriate Bureau, Division and Center. Once Center clearance is obtained, the material will be forwarded to the Director of PAG for review and then to the Office of the Commissioner for signoff. • The decision to release public information will be coordinated with the Governor’s Office of Communications (Press Office), as will a decision to establish a JIC. • A JIC will be coordinated by SEMO with the participation of NYSDOH, NYSDAM, NYSDEC, and other state and local agencies, as appropriate. Establishment of a JIC will be critical if New York State has HPAI affecting both human and animal species. February 7, 2006 9-8
Section 9: Communications • A JIC will be located at the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) at SEMO. An alternative, “virtual” JIC or “near site” JIC location will be considered, according to the specifics of the emergency and the needs of the media. Target audiences Although target audiences will remain the same during a Pandemic Period, enhanced tactics and channels will be utilized to address the increased public information and risk communication needs of: • Members of the media; • General public; • Elected leaders; • Special populations; • Local health departments; • Healthcare providers; • NYSDOH employees; • Other State agencies. Media: The media will be the primary information resource for all target audiences during a Pandemic Period. It must be recognized that the media will play an essential role in creating an informed public. However, inaccurate or exaggerated press reports can fuel public concern far in excess of an actual health risk. Thus, there must be a constant source of timely “official” public information to reduce rumors that otherwise will quickly fill an information vacuum. To ensure message accuracy and coordination, during a pandemic period, NYSDOH PAG will continue as the single point of contact within the Department for media inquiries. PAG press office staff will be available to assist with press calls, and risk communication staff, with Bureau of Health Media and Marketing staff as backup, will be available to take messages for callbacks, and/or direct reporters to alternate sources of information (e.g., the Department’s website, press releases, fact sheets, etc). Because of the anticipated volume of media inquiries, regular updates on pandemic influenza incidence and the New York State response will be posted on the NYSDOH public website upon the direction of PAG. Press releases, fact sheets, public service announcements and incident-specific updates, such as travel advisories, will also be posted. PAG will coordinate media briefings and provide access to spokespersons/Subject Matter Experts in consultation with the Governor’s Office of Communications (Press Office). PAG and/or risk communication staff will participate in a JIC at the direction of the Press Office. If social distancing is necessary, telebriefings may be substituted for media availabilities/press conferences. Should there be a need for mass prophylaxis at a State February 7, 2006 9-9
