Why am I Talking About Community?
1. To meet your mission objectives, you have to think beyond the page view and like.
2. Expanding the roles of those you serve and those who serve with you is critical to meeting your mission objectives.
3. Community already exists everywhere – harness the chi!

What Does Community Look Like?
1. The answer depends on what phase of engagement you are focusing on and the tools and resources available.
2. Each phase of engagement is important – and must be valuable for those you wish to serve.
3. There is no wrong way to do community. It either works or does not. You learn, iterate, share lessons learned, and repeat.

Members Co-Organizing on FEMA’s Behalf
Community.Fema.gov Activity
Challenge: approaching National Preparedness Month, FEMA needed an online space to register and organize thousands of citizens and FEMA coordinators.
Opportunity: build online hub to encourage citizens, public safety organizations, businesses, and faith based partners to educate and empower each other to prepare for and respond to emergencies including natural and man-made disasters.
Our Role: built on our GovDelivery Collaboration Platform, we ignited and managed the network and provided the digital strategy.
Impacts: over 25,000 members joined engaging over 1.5 million Americans in preparedness activities.

Our Role: in partnership with SeeClickFix we developed an online process and promoted to members to drive adoption.
Impacts: elderly and disabled residents got dug out and where able to get food, medicine, and services needed.
