    This guide is based on the experience from CDEM-Groups (Civil Defence Emergency Management Groups) in New Zealand which are already using social media in crisis management. The focus of the guide is to provide practical advice for using social media during the response phase. The ‘readiness phase’ is only included where actions or decisions need to be made to plan for and prepare for the use of social media during an emergency. It includes a lot of additional sources and practical checklists.
