All CAP ICs and information officers will coordinate press releases with the agency being supported (AFNORTH, AFRCC, FEMA, etc.) in advance. The NOC can assist with this. Press releases for all AFAMs must also be coordinated with NHQ CAP/PA with support from the NOC to ensure the appropriate Air Force agency provides approval prior to release. In addition to keeping the public informed, releasing certain information could lead to public assistance in reporting data that may assist in search or other CAP missions.
