  • online Public Communications by police fire services during the 2012 hurricane sandy
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2014
    Co-Authors: Amanda Lee Hughes, Lise Ann St Denis, Leysia Palen, Kenneth M Anderson
    Abstract:

    Social media and other online communication tools are a subject of great interest in mass emergency response. Members of the Public are turning to these solutions to seek and offer emergency information. Emergency responders are working to determine what social media policies should be in terms of their "Public information" functions. We report on the online Communications from all the coastal fire and police departments within a 100 mile radius of Hurricane Sandy's US landfall. Across four types of online communication media, we collected data from 840 fire and police departments. Findings indicate that few departments used these online channels in their Sandy response efforts, and that Communications differed between fire and police departments and across media type. However, among the highly engaged departments, there is evidence that they bend and adapt policies about what constitutes appropriate Public communication in the face of emergency demands; therefore, we propose that flexibility is important in considering future emergency online communication policy. We conclude with design recommendations for making online communication media more "listenable" for both emergency managers and members of the Public.

  • using science to improve Communications about suicide among military and veteran populations looking for a few good messages
    American Journal of Public Health, 2013
    Co-Authors: Linda Langford, David A Litts, Jane L Pearson
    Abstract:

    Concern about suicide in US military and veteran populations has prompted efforts to identify more effective prevention measures.Recent expert panel reports have recommended Public Communications as one component of a comprehensive effort. Messaging about military and veteran suicide originates from many sources and often does not support suicide prevention goals or adhere to principles for developing effective Communications.There is an urgent need for strategic, science-based, consistent messaging guidance in this area. Although literature on the effectiveness of suicide prevention Communications for these populations is lacking, this article summarizes key findings from several bodies of research that offer lessons for creating safe and effective messages that support and enhance military and veteran suicide prevention efforts.
