Social media for emergency management expert roundtable workshop : summary of findings / by Kate Kaminska, Phil Dawe, and Björn Rütten.: D68-5/046-2013E-PDF
On October 22 and 23, 2013 Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Centre for Security Science (CSS) in partnership with the Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) hosted a workshop on Social Media for Emergency Management (SMEM) that brought together 12 subject matter experts from amongst emergency management (EM) officials, first responders, virtual volunteers and non-government organizations (NGOs). The event was intended to provide a forum for an objective-based dialogue between the different stakeholder groups with the goal of identifying common objectives and developing a collaborative approach for a way forward for SMEM in Canada. The results of the workshop will inform the investment decisions of the Canadian Safety and Security Program (CSSP) and help achieve the program’s strategic outcomes of building strong communities and enabling improved connectivity for practitioners, thus increasing resilience, both at the community and the national level. The analysis of the discussion and facilitated exercises conducted at the workshop are presented in this report.
