1. Don’t panic, cooperate. Be a good neighbor, Co worker, and friend. Carry out random acts of kindness. Make your first response a positive, helpful one. Offer solutions not problems. 1/ 2. Practice good digital citizenship. In a time of crisis, real or imagined, panic is the real enemy. Don’t spread rumors, unverified reports, or speculation. Don’t escalate or play out worst case scenarios. Instead, post helpful resources, encouragement, and gratitude. 2/
