Disaster Response through Social Media

I am sitting in a session at #pubcampohio about disaster response and social media with Andy Carvin from NPR. He is discussing using social media and blogs to mobilize people around a crisis situation. The overall idea and challenge is how can we use these tools and platforms to make a profound impact during a crisis. Check out some great slide presentations from crisis commons, which Andy is involved with. I hope you will find this as interesting as I did and consider the implications for other things, like Gov 2.0 and Higher Ed 2.0 during crises.
