  Abstract Over the last few years, extensive research has been conducted to develop technologies to support humanitarian aid

tasks. However, many technologies are still limited as they require both manual and automatic approaches, and

more importantly, are not ready to be integrated into the disaster response workflows. To tackle this limitation, we

develop automatic data processing services that are freely and publicly available, and made to be simple, efficient,

and accessible to non-experts. Our services take textual messages (e.g., tweets, Facebook posts, SMS) as input to

determine (i) which disaster type the message belongs to, (ii) whether it is informative or not, and (iii) what type of

humanitarian information it conveys. We built our services upon machine learning classifiers that are obtained from

large-scale comparative experiments utilizing both classical and deep learning algorithms. Our services outperform

state-of-the-art publicly available tools in terms of classification accuracy.
