5 ways to use social media for better emergency response By: Brean Morris

Technology has changed how many things are used today for example emergency response. People are starting to take to social media for ways to contact for emergency, for example people would go to Facebook or other social medias to reach out to the police if a regular 911 call would work. Technology is being used to reach a wider audience a way to better an emergency response. The San Francisco´s emergency management agency are taking to YouTube disseminate information about emergency preparedness, they also take to twitter to issue public warnings. Technology is also helpful for emergency response because they can send out alerts through anything electronic as an amber alert which is very helpful for getting information out there for crisis. I agree with these ways to use technology for getting responses other then dialing 911 because people use technology a lot so getting those alerts out there is very useful.
