Creating brochures is expensive, and NOT recommended as a way to inform the community about the emergency operations plan. True or False?

False. Creating brochures is not necessarily discouraged as a method to inform the community about emergency operations plans.

Brochures can be part of a broader communication strategy, depending on the audience, budget, and distribution channels. However, there are more cost-effective and efficient methods, such as digital platforms, public meetings, and social media, which may be preferred for reaching a larger audience in real-time.

Community outreach efforts within the Incident Command System (ICS) emphasize using various communication methods to ensure that emergency messages reach the widest possible audience. For example, combining brochures with online resources and local media campaigns can create a multi-layered communication plan, providing communities with accessible information during emergencies. This approach ensures consistency and reinforces emergency preparedness.
