We all know Jim is one of the key members of the Paragon Medical Education Group but you may not know that he is also in charge of the Memphis, Tennessee Fire Department Office of Emergency Management..

Jim offered to chat with us about the usefulness of social media as a vital communication tool for use during disaster events in a community. He shares his experiences with Memphis Fire Department and some great resources for training in social media from the federal government at the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) website.
