Panel: Leveraging Social Media During a Critical Incident

During a crisis or critical incident, social media is a valuable tool for quickly getting critical information to the right people.

Discussion topics include:

  • What your agency can do now to prepare for a critical incident
  • What can be done with little resources and manpower to prepare and manage a critical incident
  • When to resume normal messaging after a critical incident
  • Deciding who will manage communications, where and when they will happen, and how they will be monitored
  • Understanding what your community expects from you during an event
  • Examples of what NOT to do
