    Collective Intelligence in Emergency Management 1 Running head: COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: SOCIAL MEDIA’S ROLE IN THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER Collective Intelligence in Emergency Management: Social Media's Emerging Role in the Emergency Operations Center Eric D. Nickel Novato Fire District Novato, California Collective Intelligence in Emergency Management 2 CERTIFICATION STATEMENT I hereby certify that this paper constitutes my own product, that where the language of others is set forth, quotation marks so indicate, and that appropriate credit is given where I have used the language, ideas, expressions, or writings of another. Signed: __________________________________ Collective Intelligence in Emergency Management 3 ABSTRACT The problem was that the Novato Fire District did not utilize social media technology to gather or share intelligence during Emergency Operations Center activations. The purpose of this applied research project was to recommend a social media usage program for the Novato Fire District’s Emergency Operations Center. Descriptive methodology, literature review, two personal communications and a statistical sampling of fire agencies utilizing facebook supported the research questions. The research questions included what were collective intelligence and social media; how was social media used by individuals and organizations during events and disasters; how many fire agencies maintained a facebook page and used them to distribute emergency information; and which emergency management social media programs should be recommended for the Novato Fire District’s Emergency Operations Center. The procedures included two data collection experiments, one a statistical sampling of United States fire agencies using facebook, to support the literature review and research questions. This research is one of the first Executive Fire Officer Applied Research Projects that addressed this emerging subject.

  • Vacaville Fire Department Annual Report
    Vacaville Fire Department 2017 Annual Report City of Vacaville Fire Department 2017 Annual Report 1 Message from the Fire Chief This report provides a summary of another eventful year for the Vacaville Fire Department. As you will see in the following pages, 2017 was full of proud achievements and milestones for the hard working men and women of the VFD. Throughout the year, our people remained focused on our mission, “to reduce the impact of emergencies in a caring and competent manner.” In 2016, the Vacaville Fire Department reached the 10,000 annual incident milestone for the first time in our long history. We had a 6.64% increase in calls for service in 2017, and finished the year with 10,664 incidents. Although the number of medical emergency responses increased to 7,422 in 2017 (a 4.7% increase), the number of medical emergencies as percentage of overall incidents dropped to 69.5% - the first time in five years that figure has been below 70%. After almost nine years of being browned out, we were able to staff our fourth ambulance again beginning on July 16, 2017. Our fourth ambulance has been placed at Station 75 in South Town. This brought our daily staffing to a minimum of 24 personnel. Staffing the fourth ambulance was a much needed restoration of services as medical emergencies continue to increase and it was not uncommon for our three ambulances to all be busy at the same time. We celebrated an important anniversary in 2017, as it marked 40 years since the start of paramedic services in our community.
