11. Interaction with the Media and General Public (background information for ERT leader)

I-

All communications with the news media and the general public will normally be handled by the Public and Employee Relations Group. If the emergency occurs outside normal working hours the shift supervisor will inform the media that he/she “is not authorised to issue statements and that a statement will be issued by the appropriate person in due course”, In extreme circumstances where the supervisor has to make a statement he/she will use the initial prepared statement in section available in the emergency plan.

l Experience indicates that the media will respond to most emergency situations minutes after the event occurs. Proper handling of the press when an emergency occurs can ensure that the media reporting of an incident is factual.

a If media personnel ring the site during the start of an emergency, their names and numbers should be taken and they should be told they will be called back as soon as the extent of the emergency can be determined.

a If media arrive on site, they should be treated cordially, but whether they should be allowed on site will be dictated by the circumstances of the emergency. If they are admitted, a member of staff should be allocated to stay with them at all times.

l The notes for preparing press statements and the holding of a press conference in Section 7. should be observed

All communications with the news media and the general public will normally be handled by the Public and Employee Relations Group. If the emergency occurs outside normal working hours the shift supervisor will inform the media that he/she “is not authorised to issue statements and that a statement will be issued by the appropriate person in due course”. In extreme circumstances where the supervisor has to make a statement he/she will use the initial prepared statement in Appendix 3 or below.


l If media personnel ring the site during the start of an emergency, their names and numbers should be taken and they should be told they will be called back as soon as the extent of the emergency can be determined.

l If media arrive on site, they should be treated cordially, but whether they should be allowed on site will be dictated by the circumstances of the emergency. If they are admitted, a member of staff should be allocated to stay with them at all times.
