Use of social media in a disaster for communication
Posted May 22 2009 5:49pm
During some research last week, I came across an example of one of my suspected uses for the new social networking communication tools and want to share the link to Innovis Health' s YouTube Video. This small hospital and clinic system in Fargo, ND used their blog and Twitter to communicate with employees and medical staff, the media, their patients and families, and the public during recent floods.
I congratulate them on being an innovator and happy they were able to continue to support their community during this challenging time!
I' d also like to invite anyone to provide me with additional examples. I' m writing a new book and want to include some exceptional examples. Just leave a comment or send me an email.
