WRHSAC sponsored a social media and emergency management (SMEM) training that was completed in 2012 to assist emergency management directors and other first responders in developing skills and policies to successfully use social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, to communicate with the public. The training included 20 online modules that were designed to give first responders an in-depth understanding of using social media. Those modules are available for anyone interested in learning more about using social media in their first responder agency.
