Video - TEDxLansing-Theresa Bernardo-Save Yourself!

Uploaded by TEDxTalks on Jun 8, 2011

Theresa recently returned to MSU after working with the Americas Regional Office of the World Health Organization where she had first-hand exposure to the usefulness of social media in responding to the two most serious emergencies in the history of the organization. Tracing the evolution of the use of social media for emergencies, such as Pandemic H1N1 (swine flu) and the Haitian earthquake, she discusses its potential to promote healthy people, communities, environments and economies. We have much to learn from social media natives not just about technology, but the collaborative behavior required for success in the 21st century.
