Disaster Blogging Resources - Part I

Jon » 24 February 2008 » In Comms, Disaster Communications »

In conjunction with two blogs I’ve just set up - NewYork.PopularLogistics.com and EmergencyInformation.us - links to excellent articles and resources about blogs as communications tools during disasters:

Blogging: reaching a global audience easily and affordably - from anywhere ,” by Teresa Crawford on Humaninet. Humaninet seems to have been an early adapter in using blogs as information toools by NGOs during disasters with this blog - humaninet.blogspot.com. Via Beth Kanter

Dennis D. McDonald’s very thoughtful “What I’m learning about applying Social Media to Disaster Response” is a must-read. Also “Potential Applications of Social Media and Social Networking in Local Disaster Response.”

Susan Kitchens at 2020Hindsight has a useful account of field experimentation with emergency communications using blogging and ham operators: “Disaster Preparation: A Blogger’s Field Day.” One could profitably read all of her posts on disaster preparation - but that would mean missingher excellent posts on a wide range of matters which would be off-topic in this discussion.
