A Group Discussion on General Lessons for Emergency Managers
October 27, 2010 -- 12:00 Noon Eastern
EMForum.org is pleased to host a one hour presentation and interactive group discussion Wednesday, October 27, 2010, beginning at 12:00 Noon Eastern time (please convert to your local time). Our discussion topic is inspired by a recent posting on the Idisaster 2.0 Blog titled "Social media during crisis response: Five general lessons for emergency managers." In order to stimulate the discussion, ten questions have been posted and participants are encouraged to review them in advance.
Our guest will be Kim Stephens, a researcher with a special focus on the application of social media to the practice of emergency management, and author of the blog post. Kim has over a decade of experience in the field of emergency management, both as a researcher and practitioner including federal, local and non-governmental organizations. She is currently developing social media training for the 2011 Readiness in Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) grantees.
Please make plans to join us, and see the Background Page for related materials and Instructions. If this will be your first time to participate, please check your connection at least a day in advance by clicking on the Live Meeting Login link. The Live Meeting client must be used in order to access the audio.
