Today is an exciting day for me.  For the last seven months, I have been on the planning community for a community mock bus accident.  And today is the day to test the communities emergency systems.  bus_flip210

593info will be testing its emergency notification system during the mock bus accident.  The exciting part is that you can follow along and watch what is happening from your home computer.  And it’s easy!!

Go to http://twitter.com/593.  This is a training exercise account for the 593info system.  The joint information system will be posting updates of the mock bus accident on the site.  They will be treating this as an actual accident. 

If you have a Twitter account, the joint information system organizers would love for you to use the direct messaging system on Twitter to give them feedback. 

I will be be Twittering about the event as well (in between taking photos).  So if you would like to know what I am doing during the event, please follow me at:  www.Twitter.com/CarolBEE

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

    I will be posting an article about the event tomorrow. The White Mountain Independent was there and will be writing a story about the event. I am looking at posting a story about the personal side of attending the event. It effect it had on me and others that I observed.

    I’m also looking for quotes for the internet watchers to get their feelings from watching the event.. :wink: If anyone has one, email it to me: concho@concholakeaz.com

    I’ll echo George, no matter how small the community, they deserve to have information about how to handle any emergency. Good job Carol. :)

    Thanks again for your great coverage of the exercise. We had a great deal of national interest during the exercise. I am still receiving comments from those who were watching remotely.
