• Short messages will be frequently delivered via Twitter. LinkedIn will
connect users with SIAC services. At WordPress, SIAC will blog on
successful alarm reduction techniques and invite discussion and
comments from viewers.
• “Central to our mission is getting the word out about what we do,”
said SIAC Executive Director Stan Martin. “…that there are still many
groups who are unaware of the services we provide. The social
media tools we now employ offer a great way to connect with many
of our key constituents.
• To succeed in reducing the number of unnecessary alarm
signals, people need to know who we are and the solutions we
provide.”
