FYI:  Assuming that everything works as it should these search archives should pull up to 1500 posts, per term, every hour.  I am using the awesome free Tags 5.0 system set up by Martin Hawksey.  This is a great system but it is not flawless, as such the search archives will not necessarily be complete or comprehensive.  To learn more about Tags 5.0 please visit: http://mashe.hawksey.info/2013/02/twitter-archive-tagsv5/

Jeffco VOST Recruitment

The Jefferson County Virtual Operations Support Team is excited to start recruiting members!

We are looking for great team players who can amplify our message and supplement our public information efforts with unique skills and talents that we may not already possess or simply just don’t have the time to implement during an emerging incident. We are also looking for individuals who understand how important it is to maintain a public information strategy that holds tightly to our core values of Integrity, Innovation, Partnership, Service, and Accountability – (see www.jeffcosheriff.com to learn more about our agency and our values).

At this time we are accepting members by invitation only.  If you receive an invitation please respond to us via facebook, twitter, or email (jeffcovost@gmail.com). We will respond by sending you our VOST handbook as well as a simple volunteer form. As the Jeffco VOST is attached to a law enforcement agency please know that we will ask you to submit a volunteer application that will require a basic background check.

We look forward to adding great members to our team!

SMEM and Distaster Fatigue

This is just a quick landing place for a number of resources that were shared during the 4/19/13 #SMEMCHAT regarding #DisasterFatigue and Stress reducers in the wake of the Boston Marathon Bombings and subsequent manhunt.

I just read through the archive from the March 22, 2013 twitter #SMEMCHAT.  The primary topic was social media policies.  During the conversation numerous links were shared.  I have documented those links below. Let me know if you find any of these links particularly helpful.

The credit for this list goes solely to the participants of #SMEMCHAT.  Thank you to all who regularly participate in this very valuable conversation.

Moving on into 2013...

Wow! It has been a long time since I have updated this blog! It has, in fact, been a terribly long time since I have participated in anything remotely related to SMEM.  I hope you can forgive me the long absence.  I do think I have a very valid excuse.

After a very busy year, my wife and I were very thankful to take a break after the birth of our son.  We spent many weeks simply enjoying God's amazing handiwork so beautifully displayed in our little baby boy's smile.  After returning to work for a brief few weeks our family then set off on a long awaited Christmas road trip to Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., and Tennessee.  We are now back in beautiful Colorado and ready to get back to work.

The only thing holding us back is all of the hours of work that we are putting into purchasing a new home and renting our current home.  We are incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to move into a larger place.  I am looking forward to being able to set up a real office with real space.  My SMEM functionality just might skyrocket after I take advantage of the space and set up my new and improved social media work station (which will unfortunately also serve as my home office where all those lovely things called 'bills' will be monitored and serviced in a timely fashion).

After we complete the purchase of our new place I look forward to diving back into the SMEM world.  My plan for this blog is to continue sharing all of the great tips and tricks that I learn through the next year.  I would love to be able to maintain a weekly blog post.  We will see if my new work schedule will permit that level of productivity.  Last year I was able to spend many hours learning about the SMEM world during the slower hours of my night shift.  This year I will be working a day shift that is guaranteed to be much faster paced.  The faster pace my limit my involvement in the SMEM world but I do intend to stay as involved as possible.

I pray that you are able to have a very blessed 2013.  As always, if you have any great SMEM tips, tricks, or resources send them my way!

God Bless,
Nathan
