Social Media for EMS

Public perception of EMS impacts community relations and health initiatives, recruitment and retention, as well as resource allocation. While social media pitfalls abound, EMS organizations can also harness the power of social networking to connect with citizens in a meaningful way.

Whether it’s sharing emergency communications and directives, or calling attention to successes or when personnel go above and beyond the call of duty, social media can spread your message far and wide.

The Social Media for EMS topic includes news about how social media is impacting EMS, as well as analysis into how to use social media safely to demonstrate value to your community, while avoiding the mistakes that could land you – and your agency – in hot water.
