Social media in disasters and emergencies aug 5wharman
The document summarizes findings from an online survey of over 1,000 US adults about their use of social media and expectations of emergency response organizations. Key findings include:
- Nearly 3 in 4 participate in social media like Facebook at least weekly, with younger users being more active.
- About half have used social media to get emergency information, though TV remains most common.
- Younger users are more likely to request emergency help via social media and expect a faster response.
The poll of over 27,000 people across 26 countries found that 79% believe internet access is a fundamental right. 87% of internet users and 71% of non-users felt this. South Korea, Mexico and China had the highest proportions that felt this was a right. While most felt the internet brought freedom, learning and social networking, many were also cautious about expressing opinions online due to safety concerns. Fraud was the top concern about the internet.
Reaching Everyone in an Emergency: vulnerable populations messaging in the 21...James Garrow
The document discusses using social media and emerging technologies to reach vulnerable populations during emergencies. It notes that over half of Americans use social media daily and platforms like Facebook and Twitter see high levels of engagement. The document advocates strengthening existing community resources and monitoring social media to disseminate timely emergency information in multiple languages to diverse groups. Examples are given of organizations using social platforms successfully during past disasters.
This document provides an overview of social media. It defines social media as interactive and user-generated content that is accessible and immediate. It then discusses key questions about understanding one's audience and goals. Statistics are presented on the popularity and demographics of social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, as well as the microblogging platform Twitter and geosocial services. The document concludes with tips on engaging audiences through creating inviting content, interacting with others, posting regularly, and tracking results.
1) The study examined how Florida State University students receive and perceive terrorism-related information on social media.
2) Surveys found that 57% of students first learned of the 2015 Paris attacks via social media, and over half see multiple news articles about terrorism on social media daily.
3) While many students feel uneasy about terrorists using social media, nearly half believe social media sites should broadcast terrorism news, but the government should not block related posts or profiles.
According to 2022 global social media statistics:
- 58.4% of the world's population uses social media for at least 2 hours and 27 minutes daily.
- 74.8% of people over 13 use social media daily, ranging from 44% of 8-11 year olds to 87% of 12-15 year olds.
- There are currently 4.95 billion internet users and 4.62 billion active social media users worldwide.
34% of adults aware of government surveillance programs have taken steps to hide information from the government, such as changing social media privacy settings (17%), avoiding certain apps (15%), and speaking in person instead of communicating online (14%). 25% of aware adults have changed how they use technologies like email, search engines, and cell phones since the Snowden revelations. However, many are not aware of more private tools like search engines without tracking, email encryption, or anonymity software. The public is divided on privacy concerns, with 52% concerned about surveillance programs but 46% unconcerned. People also have mixed views on who should be monitored.
Facebook has over 1.65 billion monthly active users. YouTube reaches more 18-34 and 18-49 year-olds than any cable network in the U.S. and has over 1 billion users total. Twitter has over 86 million monthly users in the United States and 60% of users have purchased from an SMB because of something they saw on Twitter. Instagram has over 400 million monthly active users and user engagement is 58x higher than Facebook and 120x higher than Twitter. Pinterest has over 68 million monthly users in the United States and is popular for planning purchases.
The document summarizes key Facebook usage statistics as of September 2009. Over 300 million users globally accessed Facebook, with over 90 million active US users. More than 50% of US Facebook users returned to the site daily. People between ages 18-34 represented Facebook's fastest growing demographic and target audience. This age group comprised over 42 million US Facebook users who were highly engaged with the platform and their social networks.
This document discusses social media and its rise in popularity. It defines social media as a two-way communication medium that allows users to interact with each other by sharing content, comments, and participating in online communities. Some popular social media sites mentioned are Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn. The document also notes that social media usage is highest among those under age 40 and its growth on mobile devices has removed barriers to access. However, increased social media use has also led to growing cyber crimes that target children.

Understanding the Participatory News Consumer
How internet and cell phone users have turned news into a social experience
In the digital era, news has become omnipresent. Americans access it in multiple formats on
multiple platforms on myriad devices. The days of loyalty to a particular news organization on a
particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone. The overwhelming majority of
Americans (92%) use multiple platforms to get news on a typical day, including national TV, local
TV, the internet, local newspapers, radio, and national newspapers. Some 46% of Americans say
they get news from four to six media platforms on a typical day. Just 7% get their news from a
single media platform on a typical day.
The internet is at the center of the story of how people’s relationship to news is changing. Six in
ten Americans (59%) get news from a combination of online and offline sources on a typical day,
and the internet is now the third most popular news platform, behind local television news and
national television news.
The process Americans use to get news is based on foraging and opportunism. They seem to
access news when the spirit moves them or they have a chance to check up on headlines. At the
same time, gathering the news is not entirely an open‐ended exploration for consumers, even
online where there are limitless possibilities for exploring news. While online, most people say
they use between two and five online news sources and 65% say they do not have a single
favorite website for news. Some 21% say they routinely rely on just one site for their news and
information.
In this new multi‐platform media environment, people’s relationship to news is becoming
portable, personalized, and participatory. These new metrics stand out:
• Portable: 33% of cell phone owners now access news on their cell phones.
• Personalized: 28% of internet users have customized their home page to include news
from sources and on topics that particularly interest them.
• Participatory: 37% of internet users have contributed to the creation of news,
commented about it, or disseminated it via postings on social media sites like Facebook
or Twitter.
To a great extent, people’s experience of news, especially on the internet, is becoming a shared
social experience as people swap links in emails, post news stories on their social networking
site feeds, highlight news stories in their Tweets, and haggle over the meaning of events in
discussion threads. For instance, more than 8 in 10 online news consumers get or share links in
emails.

This document discusses social media monitoring and how it can help during emergencies. It introduces VOST, which stands for Virtual Operations Support Team. VOST is a group of trained volunteers around the world that can conduct social media monitoring on behalf of emergency responders. During emergencies, everyone will be talking about the event online but responders are too busy to monitor social media themselves. VOST volunteers can monitor platforms, identify trends, rumors and useful information and report their findings to emergency responders, helping them gain situational awareness and manage public communications during the response. The document provides examples of where VOST has assisted with emergencies in the past.
This document provides guidance on using social media for public health organizations. It discusses monitoring social media platforms to understand where different age groups are engaging online. It also covers developing social media policies that address access, authorization, and approvals for posting content. The document gives recommendations for managing multiple social media accounts, scheduling posts, and creating effective messages. It includes an exercise where participants role-play responding to a snowstorm and measles outbreak on Twitter to get practice addressing emergencies on social media.
Using Social Media Effectively in Disasters: Practical Considerations for Loc...James Garrow
This document provides best practices for using social media effectively during disasters for local and state public health agencies. It covers topics such as responding to disasters from other states, helping people who don't live in the affected area, using social media for dispatching responders, engaging the public as responders, having multiple backup plans, and creating a message library.
When Time Means Lives: innovative ways to shorten emergency communication timeJames Garrow
When Time Means Lives discusses innovative ways to shorten emergency communication time. It introduces the Joint Information System (JIS) as a way to coordinate emergency response teams across larger regions using regional or volunteer JIS teams. Virtual JIS uses online tools to coordinate between teams. Incident websites are proposed to share approved information, but they are vulnerable to distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks. The document outlines an approval process where the Incident Commander approves key messages that a JIS then develops and shares on incident websites and through other channels to keep the public informed during emergencies.
Social Media in Disasters: reports from the fieldJames Garrow
Social media plays an important role in responding to disasters and emergencies. The document discusses several case studies where social media was used during the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, the 2011 Virginia earthquake, the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214, the H7N9 influenza outbreak, Superstorm Sandy, a 2013 building collapse in Philadelphia, floods in Alberta Canada in 2013, and recovery efforts after Sandy. The author concludes that social media is a valuable tool for disseminating information during incidents, emergencies, and disasters.
Saving Lives 2.0: How Social Media will Change Disasters and ResponseJames Garrow
This document discusses how social media has changed disaster response and information sharing. It notes that social media has brought every disaster into people's homes by sharing photos and videos. It also discusses how social media allows the public to both receive information from and provide information to first responders. The document argues that with over 78% of Americans using social media, platforms can be leveraged to inform the public, gather eyewitness reports, and even help coordinate community response efforts during disasters.
Talking Health in a Social Age, NCRSMEM presentationJames Garrow
The document discusses public health emergencies and risk communication strategies. It notes that public health emergencies are different than other emergencies in that there are no alarms, they have a worldwide scope, they develop slowly, and sometimes there is no emergency at all. It emphasizes the importance of risk communication that is trusted, available, and appropriate. The document also highlights concerns during emergencies like rumors, misinformation, and stigmatization. It concludes by stating that social media is now part of everyday life and public health officials should utilize it in their communication efforts.
Preparing for Social Media in DisastersJames Garrow
More than 80% of Americans use the internet and over 67% use social media, making it an important tool to reach people during disasters. While 12% of Americans have used social media during past disasters and 40% would use it to let loved ones know they are safe, it also presents challenges like spreading sensitive or unverified information. Instead of banning social media during emergencies, the document suggests a better approach is one focused on peace, understanding and acceptance.
Social media plays an important role in disasters by allowing people to check on family and friends, share information, and monitor emergencies. Over 10% of Americans have used social media during disasters to check on loved ones or share that they are safe. Government agencies and organizations are also using social media to disseminate information and stay engaged with the public during emergencies. However, they must be wary of false or unverified information and gain support from leadership.
Representatives from China, FAO, OIE and WHO agreed on a standardized terminology for the H7N9 influenza virus detected in China. For scientific reports, the term "avian influenza A(H7N9) virus" will be used, and can be modified to specify the type of infection, such as "human infection caused by the avian influenza A(H7N9) virus". For media like Twitter, shorter terms like "H7N9" or "H7N9 virus" can be used.
The document discusses how disasters are experienced differently today compared to the past due to ubiquitous media. Now, even those not directly affected can view disasters up close through social media and live coverage, experiencing the pain and tragedy from afar. In the past, experiences of disasters were more localized, but now mobile devices and social networks allow information about disasters to spread widely in real time.
Social media can be useful for sharing information during emergencies. The document discusses how social media was used to share information about several disasters including the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, the Shadow Lake wildland fire, the Aurora Colorado theater shooting, the Joplin tornado, and Hurricane Sandy. Eyewitnesses posted first-hand accounts on social media that provided important information to emergency responders.
Chicago area Regional Catastrophic Planning Group Whole Community Conference:...James Garrow
This document discusses how social media and technology are changing the fields of public health, emergency management, and citizen involvement in disasters. It provides examples of how organizations like the CDC, FEMA, fire departments, and ordinary citizens have used social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to share information and coordinate responses during public health crises and natural disasters. The use of social media is transforming how these sectors communicate and engage with the public.
This document provides guidance on using Twitter for government agencies. It defines key Twitter terms and outlines best practices for setting up an agency Twitter account, including choosing a name and profile, designating posters, how to interact with followers, and posting frequency. The goal is to disseminate information to the public and establish the account as another communication channel, while avoiding potential liability from direct engagement on the platform.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
