Throughout December, Newark, New Jersey has been receiving tons of snow. It has become a problem to the point where cars are being buried and people have been getting stuck. The mayor of Newark, New Jersey decided to use twitter to help him directly reach out to the residents. This process is helping to get the roads cleared faster and people that are stuck some assistance. The residents are letting the mayor know whenever they need help. For example, a lady that thought she was going into labor was helped before the ambulance got there, the residents actually helped get the ambulance unstuck from the snow. The mayor soon started letting the resident directly message him their numbers for assistance.
Cory Booker, The mayor.
Thanks to the mayor using twitter:
- Diapers have been delivered
- Food has been delivered
- People have been assisted if stuck
- Ambulances were helped
- Hospital areas were cleared of snow
- Elderly walk ways were shoveled
The mayor was accomplishing a lot for his residents, he worked everyday, morning to night to make sure people were safe and taking care of and streets were plowed.
*One of the mayors tweets was, "Maybe there's a lesson in snowflakes, individually were a little weak, but when we stick together there's a lot of strength there."*
I like Cory Booker's quote about the snowflakes. This was a very interesting and different tactic for a way to reach out to the public, but it worked I commend Mayor Cory for thinking outside the box!
