Of all the lessons that have yet to be learned from recent events, perhaps the biggest one requires self-reflection on the part of emergency managers. First, we need to ask ourselves this: Is it the microphone or the message that's not working as intended?

As the LA fires continue to impact communities, misinformation spreads quickly, adding confusion and risk. We, as emergency managers, are on the front lines of disaster communication, and it is imperative that we combat false information at every turn. Here are three ways emergency managers can help fight misinformation: 1. Monitor social media, news outlets, and local chatter for false claims. 2. Engage with local media to correct misinformation promptly. 3. Direct to Verified Sources: Encourage the public to rely on official government and emergency management channels. The power of information is key to saving lives, so let's keep it accurate, timely, and reliable. Resources on fact-checking are available under the "Local Resources" section: https://loom.ly/B2HSbzA #IAEM #LAFires #EmergencyManagement #StayInformed #IAEMStrong
