9 Resourcing: significant, dedicated staff time. It’s like a line but interactions visible to all. Responsiveness: requires ready access to information. Online tools need to keep up with the times. Need to educate program staff on merits. Requires coordination across agencies/level of govt.

10 Need to train/set guidelines for staff. Social media platforms have limitations. Great tool for rumour busting. Great tool for communicating with First Nations. Helps to identify/drive service improvements. Can lead to better interagency coordination.

11 Who will implement your plan? Will your content updates depend on others? What is your message? Who are your spokespeople? Do you have the most efficient work flow?

12 In emergencies, if you are not using social media to help manage the event and get your message out, someone else will do it for you – whether you want them to or not. Your must be seen as the credible voice and source of information.,
