New social media is bringing people and communities together faster than any communication medium in history. Although, many citizens are tied into social media, those who serve and protect our communities (police departments, fire and rescue, etc..) have been reluctant to implement the technology. Whether it is due a lack of knowledge on the subject, a negative perception of social media as a whole, or just because they don’t know where to get started, social media has progressed slowly in the emergency services industry. We hope to change this!
DailySplice will be sponsoring an upcoming webinar to educate first responder agencies on new social media. It will detail the aspects of new social media and the value and benefits associated with integrating it into an effective communications strategy.
