If you exceed the word limit on an assignment or if you do not meet the lower limit, your assignment will likely be returned to you for revision. There will be a 10% loss of your score for an assignment that had to be revised because the original version exceeded or failed to meet the word limit.

Social media is an amazing tool for emergency managers and disaster responders. With growing popularity they come with upside and downside. The risk of false information is large but “official” accounts can be made to spread accurate information fast as in the case with the Facebook page called “Joplin Tornado Citizen Checks” which identified missing people and helped share community resources (Skarda, 2011). This is especially useful because social media also has the capability to handle massive amounts of internet traffic at once, unlike phone lines which are jammed following a disaster. Skarde (2011) quotes Kim Stephens saying “The biggest part of using social media during a disaster is that it’s not about the government helping the public; it’s about the public helping themselves” (Paragraph 2). The popularity, speed, and presence of social media in a disaster situation is truly amazing and can be used in a multitude of ways. Emergency managers should take advantage of these tools and have the ability to share information fast, create resource pages, and filter out false information. (174 Words)
