Welcome to the D13 Public Affairs Page.

The D13 Public Affairs staff is charged with supporting and promoting Auxiliary missions through increasing public awareness of the Auxiliary.

Press Releases

With the Coast Guard's pier system, the Auxiliary can send out press releases to local, regional, district and national media.  Please remember if you are writing a press release for an event to have the press release sent to thr DSO-PA at least 7 to 10 days in advance.  This is critical as the window of time for the media to respond is at least 3 or 4 days.  Also, because there is so much competition for the media's attention, getting a press release to them in a timely fashion is important. Adding a photo entices them to cover our Auxiliary story.

Please remember you do not have to know how to write a press release to get one on the Coast Guard's pier system.  Get the points you want covered to the DSO-PA and between Aux and Gold side we will get the press release out on time.
