Calling COPIN
One call to COPIN
and it’s members can assist you by requesting
skilled public information professionals. COPIN members can help assess your public information
needs and provide the requested resources.
In the event of an emergency requiring
public information assistance, an authorized
representative of an organization may request
assistance by contacting COPIN 24-hours a day
at
614-525-6303.
Requests should be confirmed in writing or e-mail
within three hours, for documentation purposes.
When requesting public information personnel
support, please say, “I am calling to request
public information support through COPIN,” and
be prepared to provide basic information:
- The name of the requesting party
(organization) and person making the
request, along with a phone number and
e-mail address for follow-up contact. If
COPIN needs to report to a different person,
please include that name, location and
contact information.
- A description of the emergency.
A COPIN member will contact you shortly after notification of your request and may require
additional information to help determine the
initial level of response. Typically, two COPIN
members will be requested – one to begin
implementing PIO support, the second to further assess the situation and schedule additional support as necessary.
