Task 5 – Public Involvement

» Keys to successful public involvement

• Begin with needs and gaps, not technology

• Address all modes

• Encourage participants to be visionary and think out of the box

• Minimize jargon and acronyms and define them when they are used

• Use graphics and maps to highlight problems and options

• Draw out audience on important criteria

♦ Both quantitative and nonquantitative

• Focus on need for ongoing operations and maintenance

♦ Who will be responsible?
