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. Smallstorm notes that Twitter has become a partner in the IPAWS system, allowing for the analysis of how people respond to disasters like Fukushima or Hurricane Sandy. These exercises are described as tests of public behavior and information sharing during calamities.
