What was the overall goal of the Use Case?
Möglichst früh eine echte Entscheidungshilfe ob die Suche sinn macht oder nicht.
What worked well and could be recommended to others?
Die sozialen Medien haben Bildmaterial geliefert, welches man auswerten konnte. Es ist zu empfehlen, dass die sozialen Medien nicht nur für die Pressearbeit sondern auch für die Einsatztaktik genutzt werden (andere Draufsicht). Dieses Beispiel zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, sich in der Gefahrenabwehr der sozialen Medien zu bedienen.
What limitations were identified?
soziale Medien werden nicht zielgerichtet ausgewertet. Bzw. ist das Auswertepersonal nicht ausreichend geschult und trainiert.
