In Case Of Emergency, Read Blog

Pegged to National Preparedness Month, the U.S. Citizen Corps just announced it has added some new social media tools to its website, including widgets, web banners, and RSS feeds. They complement the Corps’ existing Twitter, E-mail lists and Facebook web presence. According to a news release:

“Widgets: Widgets are web tools that can be put on your webpage, blog, and social media sites. Citizen Corps’ widgets are free and display information provided by FEMA’s Community Preparedness Division through continually updated data feeds. Citizen Corps widgets are easily placed on your web page by copying the code of the widget and placing it within the html code of your web site’s editor…

Citizen Corps Web Banners: Web banners are graphic files that can be used by individuals to link from their website to CitizenCorps.gov. These banners are free and are available in several styles and sizes…

Citizen Corps RSS Feeds: RSS feeds provide subscribers with automated updated information through user-defined applications without having to continually visit CitizenCorps.gov. These RSS feeds can be imported into self-made widgets and many other social media sites.”

You can find all the tools at www.citizencorps.gov.
