With continued midwest disasters, my tips can save lives
By WDavidStephenson | June 12, 2008
A reminder, with the latest round of midwest disasters, that my “21st-century disaster tips you won’t hear from officials,” regarding smart use of personal communication devices, especially in conjunction with Web 2.0-based mobile social networked applications such as Twitter and Flickr, can and will save lives and empower the general public to play a substantive role in disaster preparation and response.
The Wireless Foundation has now created a brochure based on the project I did for them on this issue, and the tips will also be posted on their website in the near future.
