(Hagatna, Guam) While there is no imminent threat, the government’s Joint Information Center (JIC) is active for residents who have any concerns or want to know more about how to prepare for a disaster and after a disaster.
What is the JIC?
The JIC is composed of public information officers from throughout the government of Guam and the military. This is the group that provides accurate and timely information to the public through radio stations, news agencies, the mayors of Guam, the Emergency Alert System, community partners, and social media.
Reason for forming
While there is no imminent threat to the safety of Guam residents and visitors, JIC is forming for two main reasons:
- To provide the public, through an outreach campaign, with information about the North Korea threat, and how residents can be vigilant and prepared in the remote chance of an incident.
- To consolidate information from all subject-matter experts and provide the public with the option of receiving their information from an official source via media and social media.
Public Outreach Campaign
The JIC will begin a robust public outreach campaign this week, starting with fact sheets residents can look to about the threat and how to remain safe.
