Our global Emergency 2.0 Wiki Community on TweepsMap (by country)

Welcome to the Emergency 2.0 Wiki blog site! The Wiki is a free global resource for using social media and new technologies in emergencies.

As well as linking to the Wiki, this site provides background information, future scenarios of what an Emergency 2.0 Ready community could look like, frequently asked questions, event information and resources.

It takes a global community to create a wiki and we need your participation! We are ’crowdsourcing’ input from all sectors of the community including emergency services, government, community agencies, business, ICT, the voluntary technical community, the education sector, health sector, the media and the public.

This is your wiki, so we welcome your feedback and comments!
