14 COMMUNITY RELATIONS-MEDIA NEWS During the three days of activation for Hurricane Irma, City Staff (including: Police Fire and Community Relations) used multiple social media accounts to post useful and timely information as it became available. Prior to hurricane Mathew we made some changes to the website structure that allowed us to quickly make the City website s become a landing page for Emergency Management. Therefore anyone who went to the city s home page saw information that was being posted in regards to Irma and public safety. The change still gave them the ability to quickly access the rest of the City website as needed. Below is an accounting of the activity that took place on Facebook during the storm along with sample of a few of the posts that were sent out. The one regarding boil water alerts was to help alleviate confusion due to boil water alerts from other cities. Generators Reminder: Never use a generator indoors. It creates deadly fumes that can result in injury or death. Inoperative Traffic Lights Important Safety Message: By state law, intersections become 4-way stops when signals are out. Use extreme caution at 4-way intersections with inoperative traffic lights. Just because you stop does not mean everyone else will. Water There is currently no boil water alert in Titusville.
