Surely not in Emergencies…• How can we build and use A2C and C2A bridges?
– #1 Across whole PPRR spectrum• Prevention: build a (Virtual) community (or linking existing ones) and establish
connectivity before the event• Response: validate alerts using people on the ground• Recovery: e.g. crowdsourcing high-water marks post flood event• Recovery: mobilising existing communities & volunteers to assist in recovery – also
helps grieving process
– #2 Emergency Alert: working example of A2C• Issue: Generate wait & see mentality?
– #3 Community resilience: can be (re-) built by Gov2.0 and Social Media– A2C hard enough, C2A even harder (for agencies) to accept
• Even though experience shows SocMed info often more timely & accurate
– How to resource continued (C2A) monitoring?• Should be a Social Media monitoring role in the operational groups
