Who can assist with Public Affairs Policy questions?

The PIAT Public Information Assistant Team is specifically designed to handle Public Affairs Policy questions. This team is tailored to provide expertise and guidance in public information management, ensuring clarity and accuracy in communications related to pollution response and environmental matters. They connect with various stakeholders, manage public inquiries, and help disseminate valuable information while adhering to policies and regulations.

While local environmental agencies, industry stakeholders, and state emergency services may also have pertinent information related to environmental issues and responses, their primary functions differ. Local environmental agencies focus more on regulatory compliance and local environmental conditions, industry stakeholders prioritize commercial interests and operational aspects, and state emergency services handle crisis management and immediate response scenarios rather than dedicated public affairs policy. Thus, the PIAT team’s specialization in public information best equips them to assist with Public Affairs Policy inquiries effectively.
