The Foundations of PIER

Public Information -- Public information is "news." For example, the facts about an issue of public concern or a major incident in your community, or routine communications such as announcing upcoming events, or a presentation on your annual budget and projected needs would all be considered public information.

Public Education -- Public education imparts knowledge or training in specific skills. For example, teaching basic life-saving techniques, how to call for help properly, bicycle safety or briefing public officials about the importance of your service to your community are all public education activities.

Public Relations-- Public relations is the process of shaping public opinion. Public relations are a part of every aspect of your service, from public information and public education activities to the appearance and attitude of your personnel and appearance of your vehiclesand buildings.
