How far we have come @Hal_Grieb and how far yet to go. At this juncture seem to be moving backwards in many ways, static blogs, pushing information, & cookie cutter training. Assuredly two steps forward, one step back, may we move forward without bias & make use of the Whole Community knowledge-base we are so fortunate and blessed to have

1. One Year Later
Background SMEM11, highlights, and Social Media wisdom still relevant.

4. Created Concept, Directed
Planning, Presented/Moderated
With help from great friends and Social Connections. Special thanks to Robin Blanford
Director d4h and Neil McDevitt then CEPIN, former FEMA now with Leadership Foundry.
Coordinated with Individuals and they provided own content, group direction suggestion
given.
Thanks to voluntary tech support for coordinating LiveStream/Skype and NEMA.
Intent and end result was to show how Social Media was being used in the Field keeping
Accessibility and the Whole Community in mind. Meant to stimulate thought and conversation
and give EM’s and Industry partners an inside real world view from my personal involvement
in the virtual world as @northlandfox

5. Some Highlighted Tweets

13. Part of the Team

14. Whole Community

15. No Tech Speak
I view it as speaking “Vulcan” and a
good reminder

16. Making An Agenda
Definite flexibility built in to breakout sessions

17. Thought Provoking

18. Tip: UStream was down because tech
support was using it in the lobby, 2 or
three people, and wasn’t presenting
when Skype was on.
All efforts should be concentrated on
presenters not outside projects in
fairness to all especially those viewing
remotely. And tested long before not
day of the event.
Believe without doubt the Plenary was
cut with intent as it was the only
portion of the day that was never
officially spoken of again or streamed.

19. Good to Hear!
Can only hope to one day see that to
actually be true.

20. Wilson Center
It was unfortunate nothing on the
“practice in the field” aspect was in the
final report. It was a great disservice to
the Emergency Management
Community as a whole.
Perhaps an academic issue not
understanding this component but the
visual portion and large amount of
content seemed to resonate with all
except those writing up the report.

21. Do You Know 2.0
Many different versions, often updated
and always a good resource

22. Knew that wasn’t going to happen.
Much behind the scenes in the SMEM
world.

24. Crowdsourcing Answers
Fact vs. Fiction with information
sources takes experience and know
how and in particular for SMEM all
platforms for a length of time.
Because of the volume of information
and the speed at which it is posted
being someone with expertise is a
given.
Level of education has nothing to do
with being able to gleam Intel. So if
your using only B.A.’s & PhD's that is
in fact very limiting.

25. Many Asking Virtually

33. Global Reach
And to demonstrate not just globally
but locally to others. With emerging
technologies the possibilities are
endless.

34. Act Locally Think Globally

35. Decisions 4 Heroes

36. Generating Lot’s of Excitement!

38. The Public is already engaged are you?

42. Resuming

43. Value, How it Translates

44. The Speed of Information
Acknowledging the fact now additional
way to communicate and knowing it
impacts everything you do, say, and
practice is a great way to start.
Not being afraid to ask questions then
move toward adapting is critical. Now
more than even there is growing
support with many questions answered
and in use on a broader scale than one
year ago.

45. Real Time
These were real-time examples from
Tweeting it as it happened not just pulled
from the Internet or someone else's
experience. Originally “reported” as an
Explosion:
“Real Time Location of Annapolis
Package Explosion” Incident
But corrected real time as the event
unfolded from Explosive device to
Incendiary.
The phrase I’ve coined from my
@northlandfox account on Twitter,
“Tweeting Disasters”.
If your not getting advice or training
from those in the proverbial trenches
your shortchanging yourself and perhaps
being exposed to incorrect or
misinformation.

46. Mobile Phones

47. The Driving Spirit and Best
Example of SM Use @craigatfema

48. Courthouse Shooter

49. Trusted Source?
I look for Intel as the first few seconds and minutes of an event are
incident setting. By the time you figure out if you trust someone
, well, this thought process doesn’t have a place at this stage. Not
to be confused with confirming information or high probability
truth.

50. Multiple Sources
Also tells the story from different
views both virtual and contextual.

51. Critical Point Made

52. Shots Fired at Courthouse
Not everyone is participatory . . .

53. Situational Awareness
Often times video & Tweets are more accurate as there
is a rush to report by the media.
These were video captures from my Tweets during the
actual event. One of dozens . . .

54. Embrace a New Way to
Communicate

55. Gas Explosion

58. Tweeting Disasters
Examples from
1000’s

from my Tweet

59. San Bruno Fires

67. EOC’s
As in my 2010 concept example of a
Mobile Command from the Sherriff’s
Dept there is a need to think smaller
operations then escalating incident
opposed to large scale operations and
Red Cross DigiDoc type of monitoring.

Great live Tweeting during the Plenary

@neilmcd presentation. Important because I’ve come to believe most
everything your reading has been designed and scripted in
support of a small percentage cross promoting each other. The
community deserves an unbiased approach and should be
allowed to decide for themselves if something has value. Not
having someone dictating content in this critical area which
ultimately is a matter of Public Safety. - DD
