This document discusses the impact of social media on crisis communications and management. It outlines three key drivers that have led to the age of social media convergence: mobile technologies, social media platforms, and empowered citizens and volunteers. This new landscape presents both challenges and opportunities for crisis response. Effective crisis communications now requires immediate engagement on social media to respond to public expectations. Proper planning includes policies, identifying response teams, preparing messages in advance, and practicing responses through exercises. Message mapping is an important technique to craft concise yet informative messages that can be easily understood during stressful crisis situations.
