The Oregon Health Authority developed two emergency risk communication trainings in response to requests from three counties. The PIO Refresher Course provided media training for public information officers, including practicing press releases and media interactions. The Frontline Training focused on building skills for non-PIO staff to address public questions during emergencies through role playing phone calls. Both trainings were tailored to each county's needs over several months of collaboration between trainers and counties. The trainings ranged from full-day to one-hour sessions depending on county resources and goals. A total of 224 people participated in the Frontline trainings and 64 in the PIO Refresher Course across 29 counties and tribes.
