THC 67: Sofia Smallstorm | A Deeper Look At Sandy Hook
Crisis Mapping, Twitter Data, Human Computation
The role of social media in crisis management is explored through the lens of "crisis mapping" and human data computation.

These exercises are described as tests of public behavior and information sharing during calamities.
