Social media has been shown to help people communicate and collaborate about events as the events unfold. Social media can provide rapid and immediate real-time information about events that help provide greater situational awareness leading to better decision making. In this four-hour course, participants will be provided with hands-on experience necessary to use existing social media platforms safely and effectively. The skills that are built in this course help participants to create better social media disaster plans that can be easily executed and integrated into existing disaster communications plans.
