Tips can be sent through the page’s message feature. Our coverage area includes Eastern Iowa, West Central Illinois, and Northeast Missouri. We provide updates on severe weather, traffic advisories, fire and law enforcement incidents, and department events. We also issue public service announcements on matters that affect the community. If followers have information or photos to share, they may se
nd them by message. Safety must guide all actions when taking photos. Do not interfere with law enforcement or fire personnel. Do not take or send photos in an unsafe manner, including while driving. Any photo obtained in violation of this standard will not be posted. Personal information related to incidents is not permitted. Any comment containing such information will be removed and may result in a ban. Administration retains full discretion over all posted content. For agencies requesting that we share benefit information, the event must first be created on the department’s official page. This allows event planners to track expected attendance and enables our followers to respond directly. When EIAF shares the event from your page, followers will receive notifications of the upcoming activity. We can add your flyer on the shared post to expand your reach. Agencies seeking assistance in promoting an event should send a private message to the page labeled ATTN: Events. Media outlets requesting to use our content generally have permission as long as proper credit is given. We ask that you contact our lead administration staff before use. Please send a private message to the page with the subject ATTN: Media Request. We are always seeking additional members due to the size of our coverage area. If you are interested in serving in this role, send a private message to the page with the subject ATTN: Lead Administration.
