The Joint Information Center (JIC) plays a significant role in the communication of needed information to key audiences, including the general public and news media, during and after the event. In an emergency event, it is paramount that information is timely, accurate, empathetic, consistent, caring, pertinent and credible. Within the JIC there is a delegation of jobs to ensure that this communication meets all of those criteria.
