Hey Brigade and Code for All! I know many of us are keeping track of the news related to Ebola, and want to support efforts to stop this epidemic from harming people any further. Our friend from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Steve Meloan <[email protected]>, wanted to share this simple-to-implement Ebola-specific "microsite" that's been assembled by CDC. Please share it with your networks. Steve writes: I'm part of a team working with the CDC and several other federal health agencies to help promote the awareness and use of their open data assets. One of the public health offerings from the CDC is syndicated web content--where embedded snippets of JavaScript code deliver automatically updated web info to a partner health site. These syndicated content technologies first came into being during a Salmonella outbreak in the 2000s--when CDC needed an easy and reliable way to disseminate automatically updated web content around a rapidly evolving health crisis. In recent day's there's a similar urgency on the part of health departments to deliver up-to-the-minute info about Ebola. So they've flown into high-gear at CDC. They now have embed code where any partner entity can easily present a full-featured Ebola-specific "microsite" on their page--that's automatically updated, maintains the departmental look-and-feel, and includes real time news and Twitter feeds. Such a microsite can be up and running very quickly. Here's a live version of the concept at NIH (scroll down to see the news feeds and Twitter feeds): http://www.nih.gov/health/cdc-ebola-microsite.htm And here's a similar live version at the Vermont DPH (note the local-site look-and-feel): http://healthvermont.gov/prevent/ebola/ebola_hcr_cdc.aspx These are actually pretty simple to put in place, with just a snippet of embed code. They can therefore be up and running fairly quickly. The following link takes one to the CDC Public Health Media Library syndication site: https://tools.cdc.gov/medialibrary/?context=e30%3D >From there, it's just a matter of following the paths pictured below. 1. Pull down under Media Types" and select "Microsites." 2. Click on the "Ebola" microsite offering. 3. Click on the "Get Embed Code" tab. 4. Copy and paste the provided embed code into a desired web site. If you think this might be of interest to any partner health entities, I can answer further questions. And my CDC contact is also more than happy to help on the technical end--in terms of formatting, implementation questions, etc. Best, Steve https://tools.cdc.gov/medialibrary/?context=e30%3D =========================================== Thanks all, and thank you Steve! -- *Brielle Plump* Communities Coordinator Learn about Code for All <http://codeforamerica.org/about/international/2013-annual-report/> our the Code for America Brigade Network <http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL65XgbSILalW_PV2Cgmz7gOWY3YLwC87M>. -- If you are having trouble unsubscribing via [email protected], please email [email protected]. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Code for America Brigade" group.
