VOST TRAINING GUIDE

I wanted to remind you, that Virtual Operation Support is always helpful and needed. Please visit the link below and join the conversations #VOST (@VOST) & #SMEM.

VOST TRAINING GUIDE

First of all, I want to wish a Happy Friday to all you out there, hoping that mother nature takes a rest this weekend.

I wanted to first, thank Caroline Milligan (@mm4marketing) and Scott Reuter (@sct_r) for making this incredible resource available for the world. The VOST Basics and NZ VOST Training Guide – in my opinion – that these two professionals in #SMEM have come up with.

I feel that sharing information (not withholding it) opens doors and builds on better relationships and networking.

Keep it up VOSTies. Special thanks also to Jeff Phillips (@_JSPhillips) for all his time and efforts ,which are now being shared with the world.

Disaster This Week

I wanted to share the Organization of American States’ weekly newsletter called “Disaster This Week”. The newsletter informs us of Hemispherical programs, good practices and Major Natura Events in the Americas.

Special thanks to Pablo Gonzalez Section Chief RISK-MACC/DDS/SG-OAS

iDisaster2.0 Interesting and worrisome

Kim Stephens has recently published this blog post that caught my attention. Why did this specific Social Media operative not pass on the important information down to the competent authorities? WMATA Twitter Operatives have a responsibility towards its users. Please give it a thought. http://idisaster.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/managing-public-expectations-or-not/
