If you are helping with information dissemination PLEASE READ…

HELENE / MILTON updates…post city or county AND state.

Everyone is trying to get info out quickly to various sites and channels, understandable. Please focus on QUALITY over speed and quantity. Make sure info is current and complete enough to be helpful.

☆☆☆INFORMATION SHARING BEST PRACTICES☆☆☆

*********Information should always be:

–Accurate

–Independently verifiable

–Current

–Clear and understandable

–Relevant to the channel/site/group

–Not harmful (i.e. traumatic images)

–Check for typos

If the above criteria are not met, please PAUSE and adjust before posting.

*********Screenshots should have:

–Source

–Date

–Timestamp and time ZONE

–City/county/state MUST be added. Many cities and counties have the same names in different states.

–“just now” time stamps are not helpful because once your screenshot is shared, the time/zone data is now missing. Please manually enter time and zone for those type posts in the text portion of Zello photo sharing.

–Please CROP screenshots to make they only include relevant information.

–DO NOT POST SCREENSHOTS THAT CONTAIN ANYONE’S PERSONAL INFORMATION. Hence one reason why cropping is important.

–For any screenshots, posting the LINK of where you the information immediately afterwards is highly encouraged.

*********LINK POSTING

–Links should be vetted prior to posting.

–A short description of what the link is for is highly encouraged.

–Relevant emojis can help people reading to tune in quickly to what the info is about.

–Don’t post links that make the public fish around the site to get the info they need — the more specific the better. Remember victims have limited resources.

*********The personal touch

–If you have any further context or tips on the info you’re sharing, that will make the general information more useful.

–Call the phones listed and see if they are actually answered and if help is actually available.

–No one owns public Information. Sharing is caring.
