A Shared Emergency
Information Network
Getting the
word out with
social media

September 27, 2013
What is MCUrgent?
• An application that utilizes the power of social
media to share official emergency information
during a multi-jurisdictional emergency.
• Led by Morris County’s Office of Emergency
Management, MCUrgent will ultimately include
all 39 towns posting to a single Twitter feed and
Facebook page.
• Used only in multi-jurisdictional emergencies.
Individual town emergency notices go to that
town’s website, Twitter feed or Facebook page.
When putting out information…
Situation updates need to:
– be timely
– originate from the source
– be accessible even without power
– be available 24/7
– be device independent
– cross municipal boundaries
– be freely available
(no subscription or membership required)

– be accessed anywhere
