Overview
CDC’s CERC webinar, Communication Channels, offers guidance on how to select the appropriate channels for communication during an emergency. We’ll examine what it means to be first in an emergency, identify the channels people actually use, and discuss what to do when access to information channels becomes challenging.
At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to accomplish the following:
- Understand the role of the media in an emergency
- Identify which social media outlets would best serve an organization’s audiences
- Determine how communication would be maintained through selected channels throughout a crisis
