Why Are You Here? • Learn why social media is important • Find out what could happen without social media monitoring • See latest trends and statistics • Learn to use these tools in Emergency Management • Get top tools and sites valuable to PIOs during emergencies • Your first session choice was taken

  3. Why is Social Media Important? • Social Media is thought to be the driving force in our transition from Information Age to Attention Age • We are looking for, distributing, and influencing information with or without you! The 3 components: • Concept (art or information) • Media (physical, electronic, or verbal) • Social Interface (direct, community engagement, social viral, electronic broadcast, or physical medias such as print)

  4. What Could Happen? • Joint Information Center and Y-12 exercise in Powell, TN (Wed - Mar 17, 2010) • Siren sounded across Oak Ridge, TN • Public was not sure what to do and turned to Twitter for information • JIC monitors TV and Radio but missed the concerned public online

  5. Rumor or Truth? Understand the following: • Rumors may happen about your agency and your event • They will be spread with lightning speed • Social media will be the primary way they go viral, but the media may report them as facts • If you are not prepared NOW to deal with the rumors, there is no way you can react fast enough to keep them from getting firmly entrenched • A lie (or rumor) repeated often enough becomes the truth, and that applies to all unchallenged rumors © 2010 EmergencyMgmt.com

  9. What Now? Go Green! The goal is to make PIO and emergency management publishing: • Appropriate (pertinent to the incident or exercise) • Reliable (government agencies) • Timely (quicker to the public) This is where social media comes in!!

  10. Organize your Story • Prefixes and/or Hashtags – contextualize information and enable searchability for anything related to an event or exercise • Good  Blount County Earthquake • Better #BCQuake or #Flood • If your information is Appropriate, Reliable, and Timely I will pay attention to what you have to say. • “46% of Americans say they get news from four to six media platforms on a typical day.” • “51% of social networking site users who are also online news consumers say that on a typical day they get news items from people they follow online. Another 23% of this cohort follow news organizations or individual journalists on social networking sites.” © 2010 Pew Internet
