Wikimedia platforms. NIOSH staff has access to training and also the expertise of a Wikipedian-in-Residence for support. We are encouraged to contribute content to Knowledge, organize external training and events, and our publications are in the public domain. Emergency situations -- whether natural disasters or pandemic diseases -- require updated and consistent messaging across our agencies; this triggers the need to seek internal approval before adding content to Knowledge. The more expeditious approach is to switch the focus of our efforts from direct editing to alerting Knowledge editors of our emergency response-related information as it is made public. This is accomplished through the Talk and Discussion tabs where cross-project coordination takes place, as well as other auxiliary efforts.
