    1. An Online Social Network for Emergency Management Connie White, Linda Plotnick, Jane Kushma, Roxanne Hiltz and Murray Turoff
    2. One Place for the Emergency Domain to Interact
      • We propose to investigate whether the social network paradigm can be used to enable individuals and organizations to collaborate in mutually beneficial ways, in all stages of emergency management: mitigation, preparation, response and recovery.
    3. For our purposes, we would characterize a social network as
      • Links from and to people with other people, groups or information objects.
      • Such objects might be messages, photos, videos, wall postings, notifications, current activities, events, widgets, etc.
      • Such hyper-links are either at one extreme created by intelligent agents or at the other extreme by the people themselves.
    4. Overarching Research Question
      • Can a Social Network be developed specifically to meet the needs of the emergency domain and be useful and effective for large groups of collaborating emergency professionals and volunteers?
