I had a great time with the Northeast Ohio Public Information Officers (NEO-PIOs) who sat for a quick down and dirty (DaD) Table Top Exercise (TTE) designed around on a social media (SM) module (MOD). OMG.
Various topics discussed:
- Messaging during the preparedness phase
- Escalation of incident criteria
- Response messaging and verbiage
- Essential platforms and communication methods
- Dispelling rumors
- Actionable social media data
- Critical JIC/JIS positions during initial EOC activation
- Metadata for threat hazard analysis
Lots of fun esp various discussions on platforms and reach.
