Social Media in Disaster Response focuses on how emerging social
web tools provide researchers and practitioners with new
opportunities to address disaster communication and information
design for participatory cultures. Both groups, however, currently
lack research toolkits for tracing participant networks across
systems; there is little understanding of how to design not just
for individual social web sites, but how to design across multiple
systems. Given the volatile political and ecological climate we are
currently living in, the practicality of understanding how people
communicate during disasters is important both for those
researching solutions and for those putting that research into
practice. Social Media in Disaster Response addresses this
situation by presenting the results of a large-scale sociotechnical
usability study on crisis communication in the vernacular related
to recent natural and human-made crisis; this is an analysis of the
way social web applications are transformed, by participants, into
a critical information infrastructure in moments of crisis. This
book provides researchers with methods, tools, and examples for
researching and analyzing these communication systems while
providing practitioners with design methods and information about
these participatory communities to assist them in influencing the
design and structure of these communication systems.
