@redcross pilot
The @redcross digital volunteers are on 4-hour shifts

At the end of each shift, volunteers then provide valuable disaster operations reporting to improve situational awareness and best affect decision-making for American Red Cross operations and public information strategy.

@redcross pilot
Preferred Capabilities:
You have a personal Twitter account and you’re not afraid to talk with Red Cross stakeholders
You’re adept at searching on Twitter
You’re familiar with Red Cross relief efforts (or you’re willing to study CrossNet to become that way)
Duties:
Monitor Twitter for keywords like Redcross, “Red Cross”, #hurricane, #irene
At the end of each 4-hour shift you’ll provide a short summary of the trends you’re seeing in conversations.
