Description:
This
event will discuss the role of communication in times of crisis.
•
Were there lessons on electronic communication learned from 9/11 that were
helpful in dealing with the subsequent attacks? What are the new lessons?
•
How did people communicate in the first hours? Where did people seek out information?
How did new forms of information, such as the Internet and cell phones,
function in comparison to traditional media? How were public perceptions shaped
in the first hours?
•
How did people, businesses, the media, and emergency services use the Internet,
online news sites, and mobile phones? Were there bottlenecks and problems?
•
How are public and business communications more resilient today than they were
before 2001?
•
Are the electronic communications issues that faced authorities in the immediate
aftermath of each terror attack similar to the ones New Orleans now faces?
