Using the same approach that worked so effectively in getting out information after the Joplin Tornado, the same folks that brought us the Joplin Tornado Info website, have launched Ebola Virus Info.
"Rumors and untruths have no place in the fight against Ebola," site founder Rebecca Williams says. Ebola Virus Info is a "worldwide social media effort staffed by medical and social media disaster recovery volunteers and professionals dedicated to providing accurate, timely information to the public.
Williams says Ebola Virus Info is "based on the Disaster Info Model created and pioneered with Joplin Tornado Info www.facebook.com/joplintornadoinfo and utilizes best practices from "The Use of Social Media for Disaster Recovery" http://extension.missouri.edu/greene/documents/PlansReports/socia_media_in_disasters.pdf
