Google + and Facebook and Twitter–Oh My! How to Use Social Media in a Disaster

A Highlight from the upcoming NAGC Communications
School.

Do you know the best ways to integrate social
media into your disaster recovery communications plan? In today’s world of
growing reliance on social media, communicators can’t afford not to. Join Sandy
Levine, president of Advice Unlimited, for a session that will teach you what
you need to know to master the brave new world of social media when it counts
most—in a disaster situation.

This session will review real-world scenarios
where social media played a crucial role and discuss how public servants can
use social media to meet their mission, educate the public, rapidly disseminate
critical information, calm, fears and dispel rumors. You’ll learn how to
integrate social media into your agency’s disaster recovery and emergency
response communications plan and how to leverage social media for all your
outreach efforts.

“How to Use Social Media in a Disaster” will be held April 18
at11:15 a.m. at the 2013 NAGC Communications School, April 16-19 at the
