Short Survey (2 questions) - Features of a Dark Site

I just launched a very short survey on the needed features and content for a Dark Site.

These are sites which function as a central online crisis communications system and are generally managed by crisis communicators.

Please take just 2 minutes to give your input. Results will be published here on my blog.

Many thanks for your help !

Video Interviews: using Social Media for Crisis Communications

Here are 3 interviews from the conference on using social media for crisis communications which was organised by the Belgian chapter of the IABC in Brussels recently.

Thanks to the great people at ZN for taping this.

First Aurelie Valtat, who is responsible for online communications for the European Council.

Also Caroline Sapriel, from CS&A who has years of experience in crisis & risk management had some really good insight.

And here's my take on things..

For a really detailed overview of the whole event and the best quotes, do check out Aurelie Valtat's blog.
