From our PIO Team JIC/JIS Workshops in 2008-9:
"The workshop provided me with a better understanding of information flow in an emergency. I will definately use the principles I learned..." - "Great workshop. I've had ICS training before, but this is the first one specifically for PIOs. Breakout sessions were fast-paced, good experience." - "Lots of hands-on group work. Great networking with other participants." - "The most valuable component was the experience of thinking the process through, which occurred during the break-out sessions. Also the high-tech info was huge."
