Facebook Gets Official With NYC Office of Emergency Management And State Department

Today Facebook and the New York City Office of Emergency Management announced the launch of a new Facebook Page. The Department of State has also launched a Facebook Page with a range of weekly chats on a variety of topics. As more and more official organizations build a presence on Facebook, the company will continue to solidify its position as a public platform for communities of all kinds.

While today’s announcement by the NYC OEM is a small step within many large milestones along the way for Facebook, it’s important to note that this is part of a greater trend.
