    Current Radio Program:

    We interviewed Micki Trost, Strategic Communications Director, and Sara Spaulding, Communications Specialist, for the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management regarding Colorado’s implementation of a Virtual Operations Support Team (VOST).

    A basic premise of emergency media operations is the understanding that there may be millions of social media messages created during an emergency. It’s understood that the volume of messages, calls for assistance, erroneous information, or malicious websites could hamper the provision of vital information, or impede analysis, correct messaging or recovery.

    A Virtual Operations Support Team is composed of vetted and trained social media specialists who analyze and report critical information regarding an emergency to spokespeople at an emergency media command center. VOST members can be in-state, or reside throughout the United States or the world.

    The podcast explores the implementation of a VOST in Colorado.
