Abstract |
Enhancing situational awareness by mining social media has been widely studied, but little work has been done
focusing on recovery phases. To provide evidence to support the possibility of harnessing social media as a sensor
of recovery activities, we examine the correlations between topic frequencies on Twitter and people?s socioeconomic
recovery activities as reflected in the excess demand for used cars and housing, after the Great East
Japan Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011. Our research suggests that people in the disaster-stricken area
communicated more about recovery and disaster damages when they needed to purchase used cars, while the nonlocal
population communicated more about going to and supporting the disaster-stricken area. On the other hand,
regarding the excess demand for housing, when the local population of the disaster-stricken area started to resettle,
they communicated their opinions more than in other periods about disaster-related situations. |

Abstract |
Nowadays, micro-blogging sites such as Twitter have become powerful tools for communicating with others in
various situations. Especially in disaster events, these sites can be the best platforms for seeking or providing social
support, of which informational support and emotional support are the most important types. Sympathy, a sub-type
of emotional support, is an expression of one?s compassion or sorrow for a difficult situation that another person
is facing. Providing sympathy to people affected by a disaster can help change people?s emotional states from
negative to positive emotions, and hence, help them feel better. Moreover, detecting sympathy contents in Twitter
can potentially be used for finding candidate donors since the emotion ?sympathy? is closely related to people who
may be willing to donate. Thus, in this paper, as a starting point, we focus on detecting sympathy-related tweets.
We address this task using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with refined word embeddings. Specifically, we
propose a refined word embedding technique in terms of various pre-trained word vector models and show great
performance of CNNs that use these refined embeddings in the sympathy tweet classification task. We also report
experimental results showing that the CNNs with the refined word embeddings outperform not only traditional
machine learning techniques, such as Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines and AdaBoost with conventional
feature sets as bags of words, but also Long Short-Term Memory Networks. |

Abstract |
Approaches for effectively filtering useful situational awareness information posted by eyewitnesses of disasters,
in real time, are greatly needed. While many studies have focused on filtering textual information, the research
on filtering disaster images is more limited. In particular, there are no studies on the applicability of domain
adaptation to filter images from an emergent target disaster, when no labeled data is available for the target disaster.
To fill in this gap, we propose to apply a domain adaptation approach, called domain adversarial neural networks
(DANN), to the task of identifying images that show damage. The DANN approach has VGG-19 as its backbone,
and uses the adversarial training to find a transformation that makes the source and target data indistinguishable.
Experimental results on several pairs of disasters suggest that the DANN model generally gives similar or better
results as compared to the VGG-19 model fine-tuned on the source labeled data. |

Abstract |
Constructing shelters in suitable quantities, with adequate capacities and at the right locations is essential for evacuees under earthquake disasters. As one of the disaster management methods, constructing shelters can help to significantly reduce disruption and devastation to affected population. Mathematical models have been used to solve this problem allied with a heuristic optimization algorithm. The optimization of evacuation efficiency, as one of the most important objectives, has many expressive forms, such as minimizing evacuation distance and evacuation time. This paper proposes a new model that aims to minimize evacuation time with a new calculation method and to maximize total evacuees? comfort level. The modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm is employed to solve the model and the result is compared with a model that calculated evacuation time differently and a model without distance constraint, respectively. |

Abstract |
Virtual teams are an important form of collaboration, especially in the context of transboundary crises. Achieving
team effectiveness through good sensemaking is key to virtual teams? success in responding to crisis. However,
there is still a lack of understanding about the relationship of this sensemaking in a virtual team during crisis to
the virtual team?s development of swift trust. Adapting from a model of sensemaking, in this paper, we propose a
research model to describe the relationships among swift trust, sensemaking and virtual team performance in the
context of virtual teams during crisis. |

Abstract |
The aim of this work is defining fundamental principles of an Internal Security System in the presence of intentional risks in Public Administration. The relevance of this object of study has increased even more with the emergence of new terrorist groups and the proliferation of organized crime, which have been categorized as a maximum threat to Security by the government. This context has led to new regulations and legislation on Security matters at the national and international level to protect assets, people and the activity of the Administration itself. Despite the large number of regulations and relevance of this topic, there is not any study which defines in a comprehensive manner the requirements that a security system must have in the presence of intentional risks in Public Administration. The results of this work are intended to be a reference for the Public Administration, for the prevention and reaction to damage to people, property, and operation, intentionally caused by external agents, personnel themselves or users. These principles have been applied and validated through a Delphi process in the Administration of the Regional Government of Andalusia in which more than 40 security-related managers have participated. |

Abstract |
This paper describes a prototype system that integrates social media analysis into the European Flood Awareness
System (EFAS). This integration allows the collection of social media data to be automatically triggered by flood
risk warnings determined by a hydro-meteorological model. Then, we adopt a multi-lingual approach to find
flood-related messages by employing two state-of-the-art methodologies: language-agnostic word embeddings
and language-aligned word embeddings. Both approaches can be used to bootstrap a classifier of social media
messages for a new language with little or no labeled data. Finally, we describe a method for selecting relevant and
representative messages and displaying them back in the interface of EFAS. |

Abstract |
Since large earthquakes can disrupt water supply networks, it is essential to gain an understanding of the expected
usability of fire hydrants in post-quake firefighting activities. In this study, data about water supply networks was
collected and a water outage simulation model was constructed in order to predict the likelihood that individual
fire hydrants would become unusable in the wake of a large earthquake. The water outage simulation model was
integrated with a previously developed urban zone damage simulation and a fire department activity simulation
in order to carry out a simulation-based analysis of the 23 wards of Tokyo, after which a quantitative analysis of
the relation-ship between use of fire hydrants and the number of buildings lost to fire was performed. This analysis
revealed the benefits of hardening water lines against earthquakes, fire hydrant usage variations depending on
locality, and the benefits of using water pressure sensors to identify usable fire hydrants. |

Abstract |
People use social media in various ways including looking for or sharing information during crises or emergencies
(e.g. floods, storms, terrorist attacks). Few studies have focused on European citizens? perceptions, and just one
has deployed a representative sample to examine this. This article presents the results of one of the first
representative studies on this topic conducted in the United Kingdom. The study shows that around a third (34%)
have used social media during an emergency and that such use is more widespread among younger people. In
contrast, the main reasons for not using social media in an emergency include technological concerns and that the
trustworthiness of social media content is doubtful. However, there is a growing trend towards increased use. The
article deduces and explores implications of these findings, including problems potentially arising with more
citizens sharing information on social media during emergencies and expecting a response. |

Abstract |
In this paper, a scenario-based approach augmented with personas typically used in universal design and
interactive design domains is used to illustrate the occurrence of situational disabilities in emergency situations,
and to show how environmental factors can trigger these situational disabilities. With the help of personas
representing selected archetypical characteristics and roles, the scenarios are further examined to show how these
situational disabilities can affect the situational awareness of different stakeholders, not only in the command and
control centers, but also first responders in the field as well as affected members of the public. This approach
provides a better understanding of the importance of universal design of ICT for Emergency Management, not
only for people with disabilities and the elderly, but for anyone. |

Abstract |
In rapid-onset disasters the time needed for evacuation is crucial. Aside from the behaviour of the population, the
road network plays a fundamental role. It serves as a medium to reach a safe area. This study analyses the entire
evacuation process, from decision-making up to the arrival at an evacuation zone by combining standardised
questionnaires and GIS-based simulation. Based on a case study in the Chilean community of Talcahuano, an
event-based past scenario and a hypothetical future scenario is investigated, integrating the affected population in
the research process. The main problem identified in past evacuations has been time delay due to congestions,
which also is evident in the results of the hypothetical future scenario. A result which supports evacuation by foot.
This paper argues that a combination of scientific methods is essential for analysing evacuation and to reduce the
risk due to time delay, critical route and transport medium choice. |

Abstract |
People use diverse sources of information, e.g., newspapers, TV, Internet news, social media, and face-to-face
conversations, to make sense of crises. We apply uses and gratifications theory (UGT) and structural equation
modeling to illustrate how using internet-based information sources since the political uprisings in Egypt influence
perceptions of information satisfaction. Consistent with expectations we find that content and process gratifications
constructs combine to explain information satisfaction, while social gratifications do not significantly influence
satisfaction in the context of a crisis. This suggests that UGT is useful for evaluating the use of information
technology in a context where information is limited in quantity and reliability. |

Abstract |
During large-scale disasters it is not uncommon for Public Safety Answering Points (e.g., 9-1-1) to encounter
service disruptions or become overloaded due to call volume. As observed in the two past United States hurricane
seasons, citizens are increasingly turning to social media whether as a consequence of their inability to reach
9-1-1, or as a preferential means of communications. Relying on past research that has examined social media
use in disasters, combined with the practical knowledge of the first-hand disaster response experiences, this paper
develops a knowledge-driven framework containing parameters useful in identifying patterns of shared
information on social media when citizens need help. This effort explores the feasibility of determining
differences, similarities, common themes, and time-specific discoveries of social media calls for help associated
with hurricane evacuations. At a future date, validation of this framework will be demonstrated using datasets
from multiple disasters. The results will lead to recommendations on how the framework can be modified to make
it applicable as a generic disaster-type characterization tool. |

Abstract |
This article contributes to identifying the capabilities of Instagram when utilized as a source of Volunteered
Geographic Information (VGI) for disaster management (DM) purposes. The geographic focus of this research is
in the Mediterranean area. As case study, the fire event of East Attica 2018, Greece, was chosen. This major fire
occurred on the 23rd of July 2018 and caused the death of 100 people, the injury of additional 164 while the total
burnt area was about 1275,9ha. It is the deadliest in modern Greece?s history and the second deadliest at a global
level, within the 21st century. About 15000 related photos along with the corresponding captions and timestamps
were crawled from Instagram. An initial sample of about 1100, was analyzed, by using a certain methodology
divided in certain steps, the most important of which include the classification of the information to certain
categories, geo-referencing and the creation of graphs and maps that visualize the processed data. |

Abstract |
Social Media contain a wealth of information that could improve the situational awareness of Emergency Managers during a crisis, but many barriers stand in the way. These include information overload, making it impossible to deal with the flood of raw posts, and lack of trust in unverified crowdsourced data. The purpose of this project is to build a communications bridge between emergency responders and technologists who can provide the advances needed to realize social media?s full potential. We are employing a Delphi study survey design, which is a technique for exploring and developing consensus among a group of experts around a particular topic. Participants include emergency managers and technologists with experience in software to support the use of social media in crisis response, from many countries. The topics of the study are described and preliminary, partial results presented for Round 1 of the study, based on 33 responses. |

Abstract |
In recent years, spontaneous volunteers often turned out to be a critical factor to overcome disaster situations and
avoid further damages to life and assets. These Volunteers coordinate their activities using social media and
mobile devices but are not integrated in usual command and control structures of disaster responders. The lack of
professional disaster response knowledge leads to a waste of potential workforce or even dangerous situations for
the volunteers. In this paper, a novel approach for a centralized coordination of spontaneous volunteers through
disaster response professionals while using popular communication channels esp. messaging services (e.g.
Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp) is presented. The architecture of a volunteer coordination system focusing on
automated multi-channel communication is shown and the possibilities of a universal chatbot for individual
assignment and scheduling of volunteers are discussed. The paper also provides first insights in a demonstrator
system as a practical solution. |

Abstract |
We address the problem of making sense of rumour evolution during crises and emergencies. We study how
understanding and capturing emerging rumours can benefit decision makers during such event. To this end, we
propose a two-step framework for detecting rumours during crises. In the first step, we introduce an algorithm to
identify noteworthy sub-events in real time. In the second step, we introduce a graph-based text ranking method
for summarising newsworthy sub-events while events unfold. We use temporal and content-based features to
achieve the effective and real-time response and management of crises situations. These features can improve
efficiency in the detection of key rumours in the context of a real-world application. The effectiveness of our
method is evaluated over large-scale Twitter data related to real-world crises. The results show that our framework
can efficiently and effectively capture key rumours circulated during natural and human-made disasters. |

Abstract |
In this paper, we will discuss a system design for simulating social media data based on historical datasets. While many datasets containing data collected from social media during crisis have become publicly available, there is a lack of tools or systems can present this data on the same timeline as it was originally posted. Through the design and use of the tool discussed in this paper, we show how historical datasets can be used for algorithm testing, such as those used in machine learning, to improve the quality of the data. In addition, the use of simulated data also has its benefits in training scenarios, which would allow participants to see real, non-fabricated social media messages in the same temporal manner as found on a social media platform. Lastly, we will discuss the positive reception and future improvements suggested by 911 Public Service Answering Point (PSAP) professionals. |

Abstract |
To optimize the search for trapped victims after building collapses, the authors participated in the development ofI a localization system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle. The objective of this study is to evaluate an approach to implement this system into the command and control structures during the emergency response after a building collapse. For this purpose, a tabletop exercise, based on a gas explosion scenario in an apartment building, was carried out with emergency response managers of the fire department and the German federal agency of technical relief. Observers have documented the exercise. Additionally, audio and video recordings were used. Thus, statements could be made about the implementation approach and the tabletop exercise method. Based on the results, the implementation approach can be considered appropriate. In addition, knowledge was gained about the appropriateness of tabletop exercises for the purpose of scientific evaluation. |

Abstract |
Fast and easy communication, e.g. via Twitter or Facebook, encourages self-coordination between spontaneous
volunteers in disasters. Unfortunately, this is more and more challenging official disaster management. The need
for the directed coordination of spontaneous volunteers triggered researchers to develop effective coordination
approaches. However, evaluating and comparing such approaches as well as their exercising are lacking a
standardized way to describe repeatable disaster scenarios, e.g. for simulations. Therefore, we present a novel
System Entity Structure (SES) for describing disaster scenarios considering the disaster environment,
communication infrastructure, disaster management, and population of spontaneous volunteers. The SES is
discussed as a promising scheme for including spontaneous volunteers in disaster scenarios on a general level. Its
applicability is demonstrated by a Pruned Entity Structure derived from a real disaster scenario. Based on the
results, we give an outlook on our subsequent research, the XML-based Spontaneous Volunteer Coordination
Scenario Definition Language (SVCSDL). |

Abstract |
The use of social media to support emergency operators in the first hours of the response phases can improve the
quality of the information available and awareness on ongoing emergency events. Social media contain both textual
and visual information, in the form of pictures and videos. The problem related to the use of social media posts
as a source of information during emergencies lies in the difficulty of selecting the relevant information among
a very large amount of irrelevant information. In particular, we focus on the extraction of images relevant to an
event for rapid mapping purpose. In this paper, a set of possible filters is proposed and analyzed with the goal of
selecting useful images from posts and of evaluating how precision and recall are impacted. Filtering techniques,
which include both automated and crowdsourced steps, have the goal of providing better quality posts and easy
manageable data volumes both to emergency responders and rapid mapping operators. The impact of the filters on
precision and recall in extracting relevant images is discussed in the paper in two different case studies. |

Abstract |
Critical infrastructures (CIs) increase in complexity due to numerous dependencies on other CIs but also due to the ongoing digitalization in the industry sector. This yields an increased risk of failure of a single CI as the overall systems gets very fragile and sensitive to errors Failure of a single component may affect large parts of an infrastructure due to cascading effects. One way to support functionality of a CI is the use of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) that allow monitoring remote sites and controlling processes. However, this is an additional source for threats as recent cyber-attacks have shown. Further, the additional information for such cyber systems is often not efficiently combined with existing information on the physical infrastructure. We here propose a method to combine these two sources of information in order to estimate the impact of a security incident on CIs, taking into account cascading effects of threats. An implementation of the model allows simulation of the dynamics inside a CI and yields a record of the status of each asset of the CI. The way the assets change their states illustrates the consequences of an incident on the entire CI. Visualization of the results provides an overview on the situation of the entire CI at a certain point of time and a sequence of such visualization over an entire period of time illustrates the changes over time. The results from this analysis may be used to support security officers in analyzing the current (hybrid) state of their CI in case of an incident and thus increase the hybrid situational awareness. |

Abstract |
Increasing resilience is a core interest in critical infrastructure (CI) protection that involves many challenges. It is necessary to agree on a common understanding of resilience and identify potential strategies to improve it.
Once this is done, the question arises how to choose among these strategies. We propose to decide based on a game-theoretic framework that allows identification of optimal actions under various scenarios. This framework considers different threat scenarios as attacks to the CI and the identified strategies to improve resilience as defense strategies for the CI. Since the payoff of the game, namely the resilience of the CI, can hardly be measured with certainty we choose an extension of classical game theory that allows taking uncertainty into account and still finds provably optimal solutions. This approach is especially useful in a situation where we aim to optimize a quantity that is difficult to measure (such as resilience). The result of this analysis is two-fold: it identifies an optimal defense but also provides information about the resilience in the worst case. The approach is illustrated with a small example using a publicly available implementation. |

Abstract |
A crisis is a complex situation, difficult to manage by the actors. Some of them are under stress it is difficult to
deal with problems when consequences cannot be predict. The human conditions (concerning familial and life)
and, the influence of the environment related to politics, economic, and media pushe the actors to lose control of
the crisis situation. The question we face in this paper is: ?is it possible to use the fuzzy theory for predicting the
stress impact in crisis?? Our main hypothesis to represent experience feedback in a situation prediction in order
to show negative consequences and correctness actions is taken account. Fuzzy theory concept is used in
prediction in order to generate several situations. |
