Use of Plain Language
“Personnel should use plain language in all communications between organizational elements during an incident, whether oral or written, to help ensure that personnel are disseminating information in a timely and clear manner and that all intended recipients understand. Personnel should avoid using acronyms or jargon unique to an agency, organization, or jurisdiction during incidents that involve multiple jurisdictions or organizations.”
