The laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors LIGO and VIRGO recently completed observations of unprecedented sensitivity and will recommence their coordinated search for gravitational waves with increased astrophysical range in 2009. We are now implementing a procedure for online analysis of data from this network for transient signals from astrophysical bursts. In the Advanced LIGO era (starting in 2014), when detections should be commonplace, prompt electromagnetic follow-up of burst signals will be extremely valuable for extracting the maximum astrophysical information. To lay the foundations of this multi-messenger gravitational wave astronomy, for the upcoming run we are arranging to carry out a program of electromagnetic follow-ups, in collaboration with other astronomers, for a fairly large number of low-latency triggers on the chance that one or more will be a true gravitational wave signal with an observable electromagnetic counterpart. We will give a status of the observational program for gravitational wave bursts, including an overview of the online analysis procedure and a survey of plans for electromagnetic follow-up.
