Provide information to evacuees at regularly scheduled times daily and in the designated area(s) (see sample layout in Figure 2 of Non-Traditional Shelter Design and Layout section). Establish, and staff if appropriate, a booth that provides information on daily activities, available resources, significant events, etc. Coordinate with Logistics and site owner/management to create two public areas—one for information dissemination to evacuees and one outside the perimeter to accommodate the media. Facilitate guest and operational visitation and tours in coordination with NTS Unified Command. All media personnel will be identified, briefed on standards of conduct, and escorted while on site. Organize press briefings in designated area (see sample layout in Figure 2 of the Non-Traditional Shelter Design and Layout section). Interact with the media and coordinate with NTS Unified Command to manage media access to evacuees. Public Information for Non-Traditional Shelter Transportation Activities Public information and messaging to NTS evacuees regarding transportation resources, times, requirements for use, and other information will be the responsibility of the NTS Public Information Team.
