Social Media in Emergency Management

Social media use in the field of emergency management continues to evolve. As it does, emergency capabilities might even be improved. On one side of a growing debate, the timely, accurate and mostly reliable information disseminated via social media might be vital for public safety. Multiple agencies and organizations have the opportunity to interact with each other and with victims in a more efficient way than ever before. On the other side, the potential spread of misinformation, possible administrative costs, and outright fraud have some parties abdicating for caution when using social media. This debate does suggest that as useful a tool as social media might be, there are some risks involved in its use.
