This document discusses how social media can help build community resilience during disasters. It defines community resilience as a system's ability to resist, absorb, accommodate, and recover from hazards in a timely manner. Social media can help with disaster risk reduction by informing people of risks and coordinating risk reduction tasks. During emergencies, social media enables crowdsourcing of information, warnings, and coordination of response and recovery efforts. Social media also helps build social networks and support systems that increase community resilience after disasters. Challenges include access issues during disasters and validating information shared on social media.

Hurricane Andrew is one of the tragic events that has remained the historical Bahamas, southern Florida, and south-central Louisiana. The late 1992 tragedy remained the most expensive tragedy in the history of United State until Hurricane Katrina struck in the year 2005. The use of social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, and Snachat has skyrocketed in the last ten years and therefore supplementing the traditional means of communication. As the main communication method to be used in emergency management I think the social media is an effective tool of communicating as they have become an integral part of the disaster responses and hence filling the void in the areas where the phone services are lost (O'Connor, 2017, September 06). These social media resources including Twitter and Facebook have continued to inform the people of America, enabling them to locate their loved ones, notifying the police as well as expressing support. Moreover, the helping agencies have used these social media platform to filter all the data and establish the most affected regions and distribute relief. Overall, Twitter, Facebook, and Snachat have proved to be effective social media platforms, especially in modern disaster relief (Diermeier, Petrella, 2013).
Facebook has continued to offer safety checks where they provide an outlet for the victims of major disasters to reach out for help (Company, 2017, August 30). This includes a platform where the victims select the type of help they require and consequently calling their local emergency numbers (Hurricane Florence. (n.d.).

Snapchat also created a map section that would show the disasters hotspots and where many people were posting from at any given time and hence raising the decisive awareness Company, F.

Twitter turns ten: its use to date in disaster managementNeil Dufty
This article explores current literature to identify the main uses of Twitter in emergency management over the past ten
years in Australia and overseas. It finds several uses across the ‘disaster cycle’ including as a medium for identifying hazard
risk, community engagement for disaster mitigation and preparedness, early warning communication, crowdsourcing to provide real-time information, emotional support, identifying needs and vulnerabilities of affected communities, and allocating resources during recovery. This paper concludes by examining some relatively untapped uses of Twitter in building disaster resilience including for social capital
formation, capacity building, disaster virtual communities-of-practice, and social change.
Crying Wolf in the Global Village: Managing Disaster Early Warnings in the Ag...Nalaka Gunawardene
The challenge in disaster early warnings is to make the best possible decisions quickly using imperfect information. With lives and livelihoods at stake, there is much pressure to get it right. But one can’t be timely and perfectly accurate at the same time.
We have come a long way since the devastating Boxing Day tsunami of December 2004 caught Indian Ocean countries by surprise. Many of the over 230,000 people killed that day could have been saved by timely coastal evacuations.
The good news is that advances in science and communications technology, greater international cooperation, and revamped national systems have vastly improved tsunami early warnings during the past decade. However, some critical gaps and challenges remain.
The Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (IOTWS) was set up in 2005 under UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. Over USD 400 million has been invested in state of the art equipment for rapid detection and assessment. However, the system’s overall effectiveness is limited by poor local infrastructure and lack of preparedness. Some countries also lack efficient decision-making for issuing national level warnings based on regionally provided rapid assessments.
Warnings must reach communities at risk early enough for action. False warnings can cause major economic losses and reduce compliance with future evacuation orders. Only governments can balance these factors. It is important that there be clearer protocols within governments to consider the best available information and make the necessary decisions quickly.
Now, the proliferation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) is making this delicate balance even more difficult. To remain effective in the always-connected and chattering Global Village, disaster managers have to rethink their engagement strategies.
Controlled release of information is no longer an option for governments. In the age of 24/7 news channels and social media, many people will learn of breaking disasters independently of official sources. Some social media users will also express their views instantly – and not always accurately.
How can this multiplicity of information sources and peddlers be harnessed in the best public interest? What are the policy options for governments, and responsibilities for technical experts? How to nurture public trust, the ‘lubricant’ that helps move the wheels of law and order - as well as public safety - in the right direction?

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.
