A Few Changes, and Slower Posting

Two Too Many

As if I don’t have enough things going on in my life, I’ve got a new blog, too.

I’ve been unhappy with the two very different types of posts that I generally would make here: those dealing with issues of public health preparedness, and those dealing with social media communication. Both issues are obviously very interesting to me (or else I wouldn’t be posting on them), though I’ve found that posting on both topics in one place dilutes what I post. I end up with a glut of topics and subjects and quickly become overwhelmed (which is better to post–the earthquake, or the pandemic flu guidance?) And I’m sure some of you that stop by to read my musings aren’t interested in everything that I post.

This blog will continue to focus on public health preparedness–now solely.

The new blog, Disaster Media, will focus on uses of social media in disaster and emergency situations. I expect that blog to incorporate much more non-text posts (video, podcasts, images in line, etc.) than this one. Between the two blogs, I’ll probably post at the same rate, but long-time readers with no interest in social media usage will see BreakGlass’s posting frequency drop by about half.

Please, if you have any questions on this, or recommendations (hint hint), please feel free to drop me a line.
