This section provides training for all public information officers through the development and coordination of a wide range of training opportunities and an informative newsletter. The section is governed by a section council. If you are currently a PIO or are interested in entering the field and are on the staff of a public sector agency, be it police, fire, health department, hospital, the Red Cross or other public service agency, we encourage you to join FAPIO today!

The Florida Association of Public Information Officers (FAPIO), a section of the Florida Fire Chiefs' Association (FFCA), has established a statewide Public Information Officer (PIO) Deployment Team that coordinates the voluntary deployment of experienced PIOs to localities that require additional public communications capability during an emergency.
