Additional details are provided in the Finance/Admin Section Job Aid. 4.3 Joint Information System (JIS) Dissemination of timely, accurate, accessible, and actionable information to all members of the public is important at all phases of incident management. Many agencies and organizations at all levels of government develop and share public information. Jurisdictions and organizations coordinate and integrate communication efforts to ensure that the public receives a consistent and comprehensive message that is understood by all impacted populations, including persons with limited English proficiency. A Joint Information System (JIS) consists of the processes, procedures, and tools to enable communication to the public, incident personnel, the media, and other stakeholders. The JIS integrates incident information and public affairs into a cohesive organization to provide coordinated and complete information before, during, and after incidents. The JIS mission is to provide a structure and system for: •Developing and delivering coordinated interagency messages. •Disseminating inclusive, culturally competent, and accessible emergency public information. •Developing, recommending, and executing public information plans and strategies on behalf of the IC or unified command, EOC director, or policy group. •Advising the IC, unified command, policy group, and EOC director concerning public affairs issues that could affect an incident management effort. •Addressing and managing rumors and inaccurate information that could undermine public confidence. The JIS cuts across the three levels of incident management (on-scene/tactical, center/coordination, policy/strategic) and helps ensure coordinated messaging among all incident personnel. In Ramsey County, the JIS is supported by PIOs and the JIC.
