I enjoy your walk-through of how the Red Line incident could have been … socialized.

I don’t want any crisis to occur, but I know one eventually will, so I want to see how social spreading of the word does play out here in NYC. So far I’ve seen social media sites work REALLY well for celebrity deaths and our complaints about our inability to be involved in international incidents (Iran). … Too bad we can’t do social media fire drills.

@ Greg Friese,

This is the type of topic I thrive on. EMS needs to evolve with the rest of healthcare along ALL lines of the service, not just along the acute treatment areas.

Of course if evolution won’t take hold, then I’m all for revolution… and the revolution shall be blogged.

@ Brian Humphrey,

Thanks for living my theories because yes, LAFD is in fact doing quite a bit with social media. I actually have a draft that I’ll hopefully have done this week that you’ll probably find interesting… so keep your eyes open!

David,

Thanks for taking on this topic. I really like the concept of a Social Media (PIO) and your action plan.
