As chaos erupts, alerts screech on our cell phones and torrents of
conflicting-yet-urgent messages gush from media outlets. What is
the magnitude of the crisis? What is its cause? And what should
people do to protect themselves? The speed and direction of these
details is known as the velocity of information. It overwhelms and
distresses people who have not built a network of trustworthy
sources to traverse disorder. Velocity of Information offers
understanding to manage chaos and our complex reactions to crisis
situations influenced by bias and propaganda. Recognizing
indicators to judge the severity of an incident, understanding
human predispositions, and joining a member check network to gauge
real-time observations from people in your network provide
direction to respond to the reality of a situation with
impartiality, thus improving outcomes. This book also provides a
novel framework for understanding chaos based on duration,
location, and complexity. Understanding how human cognitive
limitations affect individual and group human behavior during
different stages of chaos allows readers to use the tools in this
book to avoid hysteria and optimize responses to emergency events.
Utilizing personal interviews and explorations of historical and
contemporary events, Velocity of Information provides a functional
and realistic roadmap with specific, actionable guidance on how to
navigate chaos.
