IN AN EMERGENCY
SITUATION
Presented by Sarah K. Miller, NDPTC

use, but 50%+ of those in the lowest

9. GENERAL PRO TIPS
• Have a policy
• Cover organizational use (who, what, when, how, why)
• Cover personal use (can employees be disciplined for what they do on their personal
time?)
• Train all employees on the policy
• Abide by platform policies
• Learn what platforms YOUR community is using
• Post messages specific to each platform
• If you post engaging content, the crowd will spread your message
10. SECURITY PRO TIPS
• Use two-factor authentication (https://twofactorauth.org/)
• Use strong passwords
• At least 8 characters, using letters, numbers, symbols
• DO have at least one other trusted person who has critical passwords
• Don’t share passwords/accounts with anybody else (use team features)
• Limit use of 3rd party apps
11. PRIVACY PRO TIPS
• Don’t share personal information about yourself
• Don’t share personal information about people you’re posting about
• Get permission before sharing photos (if not in a public place)
• Don’t tag people in photos
12. TWO BASIC CONCEPTS
Push Information
• General public information
• Emergency information
• Requests for information
• Should be interactive
Pull Information
• Sentiment monitoring
• Crowdsourcing
• Datamining
• Generally not interactive
13. GENERAL PUBLIC INFORMATION
• Build an audience
• Build your reputation and credibility
• Post interesting, relevant content
14.
15. EMERGENCY INFORMATION
• Keep it succinct
• Make it actionable
• Make it relevant
• Make it easy to repost
• Be prepared to deal with rumors
16.
17. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION
• Ask the public to share with you
• Can be routine information, “tips”, or emergency information
23. PULLING INFORMATION
• Requests for assistance
• Sentiment Monitoring
• Crowdsourcing
• Data mining
• Use for operational purposes
• Use for intelligence gathering
25. DATA MINING AND CROWDSOURCING
• Gathering up the large amounts of data that the public shares
• Has to be analyzed and turned into actionable intelligence
• Some is readily actionable, while most has to be confirmed
• We can get some information that’s geotagged, but harder now that people are
more privacy savvy
