Social Media in Emergency Management

We are thrilled to announce that on December 12, the Chasing4Life "Stronger Community" Radio Show will host an episode with Kim Stephens, lead blogger of iDisaster 2.0! Kim is well-known for her focus on the benefits as well as the challenges the emergency management community might face when employing new information communications technologies before, during and after a crisis.

Kim has over a decade of experience in the field of emergency management, both as a researcher and a practitioner.  Her experience has spanned federal, local and non-governmental organizations: from the US Environmental Protection Agency, to the Tennessee Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management, and the American Red Cross.   Her special focus is the application of social media to the practice of emergency management in the public sector.
