Tornadoes tore through Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee this past weekend, killing at least 39 people and splintering communities, homes and businesses. Agility is currently responding to three disaster declarations in West Liberty, KY – a town that was virtually leveled Friday afternoon.
The storms took innocent lives and thrashed the conveniences of modern day life. Cellphone signals were hard to find, Internet was out and electricity indefinitely interrupted. At times like these, individuals are forced to use alternative methods to communicate with one another.
Social media outlets like facebook and twitter have proven to be a go-to source for news and updates following a disaster. These online communities provide businesses with the unique opportunity to share information rapidly with a large audience. To learn how to effectively integrate social media into your organization's disaster recovery plan, join Agility for a free webinar on March 14th.
