Local Government Guidelines for Working with the Media During an Energy Emergency

PTI presented this webinar on September 14, 2011.

Local governments play an important communications role during any emergency, and energy emergencies are no exception.

When energy delivery or availability is compromised, it is essential that the public be informed of the details and impact of the disruption.

Fostering a relationship with the media before, during, and after an energy emergency will help ensure that local governments can provide timely and accurate information about the emergency.

This document provides strategies that local governments can use for communicating effectively with the media, and for cultivating relationships with both the media and the public during energy-related emergencies.

Local Government Energy Assurance Planning (LEAP)

To find out more about local government energy assurance efforts, visit the LEAP website at www.energyassurance.us.

This site, maintained by PTI, is designed to support all local governments, large, medium and small, across the nation that want to learn more about creating energy assurance plans for their communities. Once created, these plans will help ensure that local governments can provide life-saving services during an energy emergency.
