Public Affairs Office

The Public Affairs Office tells the Corps story in Alaska by providing accurate and timely information to internal and external audiences through the execution of a fully integrated public affairs program focused on media relations, community relations and command information activities. These efforts build awareness and generate support for the Alaska District by informing and educating the media, public, work force and other key stakeholders about the organization’s mission, programs, projects and people.

Media Relations

Public affairs specialists work to foster understanding of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by enabling engagements between local, national and international media outlets and members of the district. This mission includes escorting media through projects, creating news and information products that inform the public on USACE activities and much more. Media outlets of many types are valuable resources for USACE to broadcast information to communities across the state

Community Relations

The Public Affairs Office strengthens relationships with the public and enhances community support by informing partners, customers and stakeholders about the Alaska District's mission, programs, projects and people.  Our office fulfills the commander’s requirement to inform the American people and all stakeholders of Army activities and initiatives. Community relations is a key tool with wide-reaching implications for the USACE mission and its many stakeholders.

Command Information

Known as corporate communication outside the military, command information represents all official internal communication efforts created by the Public Affairs Office. This includes communications with the command, Soldiers, subordinate leaders and the Families that make up the organization.  Command information uses all communication tools available ranging from social media and multimedia products to newsletters and command speeches to ensure that the critical work of USACE is broadcasted efficiently and effectively to the required audience.
