When do you need to plan to meet public information needs?

You should plan to meet public information needs during key phases of a project, such as the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. This ensures that stakeholders are informed and engaged from the outset, allowing for feedback and adjustments along the way. Additionally, timely communication during crises or significant changes is crucial to maintain public trust and ensure transparency. Proactively addressing information needs helps foster a positive relationship with the community.
