<br />, <br /> <br />V DISPLAYS <br /> <br />Proposal <br /> <br />Temporary displays have been used at the Glen Canyon Dam Visitor Center for the past <br />10+ years covering various GeES, GeD EIS, and Adaptive Management Program <br />activities. It is also possible to place temporary displays at Hoover Dam and other <br />Reclamation facilities. They may be done to meet an emerging need or they may be <br />planned a year or more in advance. The displays are on portable pop-up units and may be <br />taken to other sites for additional use. <br /> <br />Budget <br /> <br />Costs are between $500 to $2,000, depending upon the use of existing materials including <br />art work, photographs, maps, and data. Typically, the UC Region Public Affairs Office <br />can produce a temporary display for less than $1,000. <br /> <br />Reclamation has some display frames available for use, along with other uses and <br />competing demands. The AMWG should consider purchase of several display frames to <br />dedicate to this use. Cost - $4,000 (approximate, depending upon cases and features) <br /> <br />VI MEDIA RELATIONS & GENERAL PUBLIC AFFAIRS SUPPORT <br /> <br />Services and Proposal <br /> <br />The AMP and the AMWG have not actively sought out broader public exposure. <br />Generally, the same is true for the GeMRC. Public Affairs support in terms of proactive <br />media contacts for the overall program, and not just Reclamation's portion of the effort, is <br />proposed. The UC Region Public Affairs Office supports the manager of the Adaptive <br />Management and Environmental Resources Division in his overall Reclamation work <br />Historically, the public affairs staff has extended that support to the broader program. <br />However, there has never been a specific AMP and AMWG public affairs plan or <br />objective that differentiates between Reclamation's work and the programs broader work <br /> <br />A public affairs/outreach plan that includes seeking greater exposure and understanding of <br />the AMP work, with actions including media interviews, speeches, and other actions is <br />suggested. Such a plan would enable all other public affairs capabilities of AMWG <br />participants and agencies to be identified. With the transfer of GCMRC from Reclamation <br />to USGS, it is not clear what sort of public affairs support GCMRC will receive. To <br />implement a plan, tasks need to be assigned for media contacts and media background <br />briefings, speech writing and locating and scheduling speech opportunities. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />02352 <br />
