Mission Statement

Central Ohio Public Information Network members will serve as a professional resource for member preparedness, and will assist COPIN with communication response to support its regional jurisdictions during a disaster or emergency situation.

What is COPIN

Members of the Central Ohio Public Information Network believe effective,
strategic communications to key audiences is one of the most critical
components during any community emergency. The initial vision of COPIN was to create and maintain a group of public information professionals that can work together and with area agencies to provide public information functions and media support in response to disasters and other public emergencies in support of first responders.

COPIN Meetings

The COPIN membership meets quarterly and there are opportunities for training, participating in exercises, networking and other opportunities to grow and develop as a public information professional. COPIN is scheduled to meet on January 14, April 8, July 8 and October 14, 2009 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Franklin County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Offices (5300 Strawberry Farms Blvd, 43230).
