Social Media During Emergencies
Social media has become a critical component to deliver news faster and to a wider audience than traditional news sources for emergencies. This however has the potential for misinformation. Members of the TU Dublin community should refrain from spreading emergency information on their personal social media and should also refrain from sharing images relating to emergencies.
All queries in relation to communications in emergency scenarios should be referred to the Communications and Marketing Function.
