DFRS SOCIAL MEDIA AIMS
• Using official social media channels to communicate effectively, immediately, efficiently and appropriately with certain target audiences, that might not use or be subject to other methods the service uses.
![Page 45: Dorset Fire & Rescue Service - Using Social Media 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070319/55853c01d8b42a58788b4878/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
DFRS SOCIAL MEDIA AIMS
• Through the MOSAIC tool we have identified three such groups:– G33 – Transient singles poorly supported by family and neighbours– A04 – Villagers with few well paid alternatives to agricultural employment– D13 – Higher income older champions of village communities
• From their characteristics, these groups are most likely to respond to social media as they use this to communicate with friends and family. The internet is also seen as a primary point of call for information, research and keeping in touch.
• The messages DFRS uses social media for could occur during an incident, as proactive prevention messages or in response to other external factors.

INCIDENT EXAMPLE #1
• Helicopter crash in Vauxhall, London – Police, Fire and other services could monitor the social media networks to gather information / photos without having to ask for it
• Access to real-time information• Also gather intelligence after the event took
place – photos from locals on the scene – helping to build a picture of what happened
![Page 54: Dorset Fire & Rescue Service - Using Social Media 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070319/55853c01d8b42a58788b4878/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

INCIDENT EXAMPLE #1
• Eyewitness accounts, video footage, and photos (taken by people on their commute to work) all over social media.
• Vital information in the post-incident investigation• A well-publicised Twitter address with an associated
hashtag -- perhaps @999 or #londonhelicrash in this instance -- would provide a fast (possibly real-time) and efficient way for the public to share information with the emergency services.

ENGAGING WITH INFLUENCERS
• Identifying and then engaging – using @message• For example:-
– We had a report on mental health recently, which is not an area we do lots and lots of stuff in and we wanted to get as much reach as possible. So we engaged with lots of mental health organisations and we said we want to go really hard on this day, this is what we want tweeted and we hit the bloggers, and we just made a nice buzz and noise on that day, much greater than if we’d just gone through the usual e-mail traffic.”@dorsetcommunityaction
