Using Social Media in Crisis/Disaster Situations – Opportunities and Lessons

by Robbo on January 16, 2011

We welcomed a lot of first timers to the Health Care Social Media Australia and New Zealand (#hcsmanz) tweetup held tonight. The relevance and immediacy of the topic due to the floods in Queensland may have had something to do with it.

The use of social media in disseminating information and correcting rumours by the Queensland Police Service during the flooding in Queensland and particularly Brisbane was praised by all.

Here are links to the transcript of this evening’s tweetup and links posted during the discussion
