#Snowpocalypse (1 & 2) Tweet questions/comments: #AIRS2014 @SrConnections Like us on Facebook /seniorconnectionsatl

What we did right Extra meals were delivered before the storm hit – no senior went hungry Volunteers were contacted in advance to deliver early – no one stuck on roads Seniors were called before and during the storm to check up on them. We reached out to “SnowedOut Atlanta”, and neighborhood associations via Facebook Tweet questions/comments: #AIRS2014 @SrConnections Like us on Facebook /seniorconnectionsatl

What could have gone better? Track number of volunteers who came in through Facebook (we knew of 2) Work more closely with media and other I&R referrers Include outside groups in our “disaster plan” – who can get the word out that we need volunteers? Email – One email went out 24 hours into the storm. We could have provided more communications with volunteers, donors and supporters before and after.

Eventually your fans will share theirs Tweet questions/comments: #AIRS2014 @SrConnections Like us on Facebook /seniorconnectionsatl
