In addition to the Twitter sites I mentioned in the last post, this new Google map of suspected and confirmed cases is interesting to follow. We should remember that user-generated content is often (usually?) unreliable, but the more widely it is disseminated the quicker inaccuracies are debunked and salient points reinforced. Firegeezer has written several times about having an Internet Intelligence Officer at the command post for very large, very public incidents. Twitter and RSS readers can keep you updated very quickly from a tremendous amount of sources and go a long way toward maintaining situational awareness using a resilient and durable platform.
