How Americans Use Social Tools In Emergencies

This is an interesting graphic prepared by the American Red Cross that apparently contains the results of a survey. It is surprising that so many expect that social media is a method for communicating with emergency service agencies. What are the implications of this? Should the public be educated that Facebook and Twitter are not the best ways for contacting emergency services? Or, has that ship sailed already and there is no turning back? Should the emergency service agencies establish more of a presence on social media?
