Title | Detecting Disaster Recovery Activities via Social Media Communication Topics | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2019 | Publication | Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2019 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
Keywords | Social Media, Topic modeling, Socio-economic recovery, Used-car demand, Housing demand. | ||||
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. |

Title | Classification of Twitter Disaster Data Using a Hybrid Feature-Instance Adaptation Approach | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2018 | Publication | ISCRAM 2018 Conference Proceedings – 15th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2018 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | 727-735 | ||
Keywords | Tweet classification, Domain adaptation, Matrix factorization, k-Nearest Neighbors, Disaster response | ||||
Abstract | Huge amounts of data that are generated on social media during emergency situations are regarded as troves of critical information. The use of supervised machine learning techniques in the early stages of a disaster is challenged by the lack of labeled data for that particular disaster. Furthermore, supervised models trained on labeled data from a prior disaster may not produce accurate results, given the inherent variation between the current and the prior disasters. To address the challenges posed by the lack of labeled data for a target disaster, we propose to use a hybrid feature-instance adaptation approach based on matrix factorization and the k nearest neighbors algorithm, respectively. The proposed hybrid adaptation approach is used to select a subset of the source disaster data that is representative for the target disaster. The selected subset is subsequently used to learn accurate Naive Bayes classifiers for the target disaster. | ||||

Title | ISCRAM turns 15: A Trend Analysis of all ISCRAM-Papers 2004-2017 | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2018 | Publication | ISCRAM 2018 Conference Proceedings – 15th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2018 |

Abstract | In 2004, Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM) was a new area of research. Pioneering researchers from different continents and disciplines found fellowship at the first ISCRAM work-shop. Around the same time, the use of social media in crises was first recognized in academia. In 2018, the 15th ISCRAM conference will take place, which gives us the possibility to look back on what has already been achieved with regard to IT support in crises using social media. With this article, we examine trends and devel-opments with a specific focus on social media. We analyzed all papers published at previous ISCRAMs (n=1339). Our analysis shows that various platforms, the use of language and coverage of different types of disasters follow certain trends – most noticeably a dominance of Twitter, English and crises with large impacts such as hurricanes or earthquakes can be seen. | ||||

Abstract | In 2020, we have witnessed an unprecedented crisis event, the COVID-19 pandemic. Various questions arise regarding the nature of this crisis data and the impacts it would have on the existing tools. In this paper, we aim to study whether we can include pandemic-type crisis events with general non-pandemic events and hypothesize that including labeled crisis data from a variety of non-pandemic events will improve classification performance over models trained solely on pandemic events. To test our hypothesis we study the model performance for different models by performing a cross validation test on pandemic only held-out sets for two different types of training sets, one containing only pandemic data and the other a combination of pandemic and non-pandemic crisis data, and comparing the results of the two. Our results approve our hypothesis and give evidence of some crucial information propagation upon inclusion of non-pandemic crisis data to pandemic data. | ||||

Abstract | In a classification task, dealing with text snippets and metadata usually requires to deal with multimodal approaches. When those metadata are textual, it is tempting to use them intrinsically with a pre-trained transformer, in order to leverage the semantic information encoded inside the model. This paper describes how to improve a humanitarian classification task by adding the crisis event type to each tweet to be classified. Based on additional experiments of the model weights and behavior, it identifies how the proposed neural network approach is partially over-fitting the particularities of the Crisis Benchmark, to better highlight how the model is still undoubtedly learning to use and take advantage of the metadata's textual semantics. | ||||

Title | Delivering health messages using traditional and new media: Communication preferences of california residents during the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2011 | Publication | 8th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management: From Early-Warning Systems to Preparedness and Training, ISCRAM 2011 | Abbreviated Journal | ISCRAM 2011 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
Keywords | Information systems; Viruses; Crisis management; H1n1; New media; Pandemic influenza; Risk communication; Surveys | ||||
Abstract | In March 2009, a novel influenza A (H1N1) virus emerged from Mexico. The pandemic resulted in a surge of media attention in which a large volume of information was communicated via multiple sources and channels, both traditional and new. In order to better understand the publics perceptions and utilization of health information provided, California residents were surveyed using a mailed questionnaire. Results showed most respondents felt they had received enough information about the outbreak. The study also found participants preferred conventional communication sources, such as television and newspapers, over new media, such websites. Although, there were some statistically significant differences between information source usage by age as well as by education. Even though respondents reported using a variety of sources, as a whole, they were unsure of their accuracy, trustworthiness or usefulness. Further study is needed to understand if these results are representative of experiences in other states and countries. | ||||

Title | Fusing non-authoritative data to improve situational awareness in emergencies | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2014 | Publication | ISCRAM 2014 Conference Proceedings – 11th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | ISCRAM 2014 |

Abstract | In order to coordinate emergency operations and evacuations, it is vital to accurately assess damage to people, property, and the environment. For decades remote sensing has been used to observe the Earth from air, space and ground based sensors. These sensors collect massive amounts of dynamic and geographically distributed spatiotemporal data every day. However, despite the immense quantity of data available, gaps are often present due to the specific limitations of the sensors or their carrier platforms. This article illustrates how nonauthoritative data such as social media, news, tweets, and mobile phone data can be used to fill in these gaps. Two case studies are presented which employ non-authoritative data to fill in the gaps for improved situational awareness during damage assessments and emergency evacuations. | ||||

Year | 2013 | Publication | ISCRAM 2013 Conference Proceedings – 10th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | ISCRAM 2013 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | 901-905 | ||
Keywords | Information systems; Command and control; Crisis communications; Crisis management; Incident response; Mutual shaping; Security incident; Societal impacts; Concretes | ||||
Abstract | In our modem society, the impact of large-scale spfety and security incidents can be large and diverse. Yet. this societal impact is makeable and controllable to a limited extent. At best, the effect of concrete response actions is that the direct damage is somewhat reduced and that the recovery is accelerated. Proper crisis communication can make the biggest difference with respect to overall societal impact. We argue that crisis communication must strike a balance between a directive approach of chaos, command and control and a more empathic approach of continuity, coordination and cooperation. On the basis of a concrete case we analyze how crisis communication reflects the incident response approach and how societal impact is affected. | ||||

Title | Towards Automated Individual Communication for Coordination of Spontaneous Volunteers | Type | Conference Article | ||

Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
Keywords | Spontaneous volunteers, chatbot, social media, system architecture | ||||
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 | In the context of COVID-19, this study utilizes the Social Mediated Crisis Communication Model (SMCC) and the Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) to investigate the relationship between social media users' protective actions and crisis information during public health crises in China. By constructing a structural equation model, this study aims to identify the influencing factors that affect social media users' personal’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral reactions given crisis relevant information. Results findings are that warning information can significantly increase risk perception; emotional responses are not significantly affected by warning information and risk perception; risk perception has a negative impact on information gathering and sharing behavior; risk perception has a significant mediating effect on the relationship between information features and protective action. | ||||

Abstract | In the last decade, people have increasingly relied on social media platforms such as Twitter to share information on the response to a natural or a man-made disaster. This paper focuses on the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Since the disaster, victims and volunteers have been sharing relevant information about radiation measurements by means of social media. The aim of this research is to explore the diffusion of information produced and shared by Twitter bots, to understand the degree of popularity of these sources and to check if these bots deliver original radiation measurements. | ||||

Abstract | In the past crisis sensemaking activities have primarily been controlled by professional emergency responders and the media. Social media, however, has the potential to see a shift towards more grassroots and ad hoc citizen engagement. This paper sets out our vision and our progress in implementation of a new online platform called 'Majority Report', which aims to empower citizen sensemaking activities around crisis events. The concept is to facilitate citizen volunteers to draw together a range of digital media (photographs, Tweets, videos, etc.) to present stories of crisis events, and thus demarcate arguments about different understandings in terms of the temporal ordering of event narrative components and their relations to each other. Through collaborative usages of the platform, accounts may be improved by others, and variants may be presented and compared to challenge existing assumptions and beliefs. | ||||

Keywords | Crisis Management and Response, Elasticsearch, Social Media, Volunteered Geographic Information, Botometer | ||||
Abstract | In the past year, numerous weather-related disasters have continued to display the critical importance of crisis management and response. Volunteered geographic information (VGI) has been previously shown to provide illumination during all parts of the disaster timeline. Alas, for a geospatial area, the amount of data provided can cause information overload, and be difficult to process/visualize. This work presents a set of open-source tools that can be easily configured, deployed and maintained, to leverage data from Twitter's streaming service. The user interface presents data in near real-time, and allows for dynamic queries, visualizations, maps and dashboards. Another VGI challenge is quantifying trustworthiness of the data. The presented work shows integration of a Twitter-bot assessment service, which uses several heuristics to determine the bot-ness of a Twitter account. Architecture is described, Twitter data from a major metropolitan area is explored using the tools, and conclusions/follow-on work are discussed. | ||||

Abstract | In this paper we describe a proposal for information organization for computer supported cooperative work, while working with spatial information. It is focused on emergency response plan construction, and the requirements extracted from that task. At the centre of our proposal is the analysis of the structure of the cooperative workspace. We argue that the internal information representation should follow a spatial approach, tying the structure used to manage users with the structure used to manage information, suggesting the use of different spaces to represent the information. The gain we expect from this approach is the improved capacity to extract information on how people are cooperating and their relationship with the information they are working with. The ideas are introduced while focusing on real life emergency planning activities, where we discuss the current shortcomings of the cooperation strategies in use and propose a solution. | ||||

Volume | Issue | Pages | 507-515 | ||
Keywords | Twitter; weather; sensor data; social media | ||||
Abstract | In this paper we leverage the power of citizen supplied data. We examined how both physical weather sensor data (obtained from the weather underground API) and social media data (obtained from Twitter) can serve to improve local community awareness during a severe weather event. A local tornado warning was selected due to its small scale and isolated geographic area, and only Twitter data found from within this geo-locational area was used. Our results indicate that during a severe weather event, an increase in weather activity obtained from the local weather sensors does correlate with an increase in local social media usage. The data found on social media also contains additional information from, and about the community of interest during the event.

Title | Does the spatiotemporal distribution of tweets match the spatiotemporal distribution of flood phenomena? A study about the River Elbe Flood in June 2013 | Type | Conference Article | ||

Abstract | In this paper we present a new approach to enhance information extraction from social media that relies upon the geographical relations between twitter data and flood phenomena. We use specific geographical features like hydrological data and digital elevation models to analyze the spatiotemporal distribution of georeferenced twitter messages. This approach is applied to examine the River Elbe Flood in Germany in June 2013. Although recent research has shown that social media platforms like Twitter can be complementary information sources for achieving situation awareness, previous work is mostly concentrated on the classification and analysis of tweets without resorting to existing data related to the disaster, e.g. catchment borders or sensor data about river levels. Our results show that our approach based on geographical relations can help to manage the high volume and velocity of social media messages and thus can be valuable for both crisis response and preventive flood monitoring. | ||||

Title | Linking up the last mile: how humanitarian power relations shape community e-resilience | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2017 | Publication | Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2017 |

Abstract | In this paper we present a qualitative, social network based, power analysis of relief and recovery efforts in the aftermath of the 2015 earthquakes in Nepal. We examine how the interplay between humanitarian power relations and e-resilience influenced communities' ability to respond to the destruction brought about by the disaster. We focus in particular on how power dynamics affect online spaces and interactions at the hyper local level (or 'the last mile'). We explain how civic technology initiatives are affected by these power relationships and show how their efforts may reinforce social inequalities – or be sidelined – if power dynamics are not taken into consideration. However, on the basis of a case study based power analysis, we show that when civic technology initiatives do strategically engage with these dynamics, they have the potential to alter harmful power relations that limit community e-resilience. | ||||

Title | Beyond the trustworthy tweet: A deeper understanding of microblogged data use by disaster response and humanitarian relief organizations | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2013 | Publication | ISCRAM 2013 Conference Proceedings – 10th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | ISCRAM 2013 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | 770-779 | ||
Keywords | Disasters; Information management; Information systems; Societies and institutions; Humanitarian; Microblogging; Ngo; Relief; Trust; Twitter; Emergency services | ||||
Abstract | In this paper we present findings from interviews conducted with representatives from large international disaster response organizations concerning their use of social media data in crisis response. We present findings in which the barriers to use by responding organizations have gone beyond simple discussions of trustworthiness to that of more operational issues rather than mere data quality. We argue that the landscape of the use of microblogged data in crisis response is varied, with pockets of use and acceptance among organizations. We found that microblogged data is useful to responders in situations where information is limited, such as at the beginning of an emergency response effort, and when the risks of ignoring an accurate response outweigh the risks of acting on an incorrect one. In some situations, such as search and rescue operations, microblogged data may never meet the standards of quality required. In others, such as resource and supply management, microblogging data could be useful as long as it is appropriately verified and classified. | ||||

Abstract | In this paper we will be discussing how the (semi-)professional actors involved in crisis management (police, fire-fighters, etc.) and the affected citizens can communicate and collaborate by the use of social software. After the definition of the term 'social software' we will provide the state-of-the-art on current social software use in crisis management. Drawing from this, we will present two case studies where we examined the social software use in 2010: First during the disruption of air travel due to the eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland, second during the crisis at a stampede at the Love Parade music festival in Germany. We identified weak points and further potentials and tested the validity of the American case study findings from literature for Europe. We will conclude with a concept for using citizens in inter-organizational crisis management with a social software infrastructure and a communication matrix for crisis management. | ||||

Abstract | In this paper, we describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of a mesh network based messaging application for the One Laptop Per Child XO laptop. We outline the creation of an easy-to-use OLPC Activity that exchanges Ushahidi-style messages with nearby OLPC users through the Internet or a mesh network. Our contributions are to implement an epidemic messaging scheme on mesh networks of OLPC XO laptops, to extend the Ushahidi web application to efficiently exchange messages with nodes in mesh networks, and to allow the Ushahidi server to distribute cures, notifications of message delivery, for each received message. Testing and analysis revealed substantial overhead is introduced by the OLPC's use of Telepathy Salut for activity sharing. | ||||

Title | Deep Neural Networks versus Naive Bayes Classifiers for Identifying Informative Tweets during Disasters | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2018 | Publication | ISCRAM 2018 Conference Proceedings – 15th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2018 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | 677-686 | ||
Keywords | deep neural networks, naive bayes classifiers, handcrafted features | ||||
Abstract | In this paper, we focus on understanding the effectiveness of deep neural networks by comparison with the effectiveness of standard classifiers that use carefully engineered features. Specifically, we design various feature sets (based on tweet content, user details and polarity clues) and use these feature sets individually or in various combinations, with Naïve Bayes classifiers. Furthermore, we develop neural models based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) with handcrafted architectures. We compare the two types of approaches in the context of identifying informative tweets posted during disasters, and show that the deep neural networks, in particular the CNN networks, are more effective for the task considered. | ||||

Title | Tweeting 'when online is off'? Opportunistically creating mobile ad-hoc networks in response to disrupted infrastructure | Type | Conference Article | ||

Volume | Issue | Pages | 662-671 | ||

Abstract | In this paper, we present a system that enables people to post and receive tweets despite disruptions of existing network infrastructure. Our system opportunistically deploys mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) based on Wi-Fi in which people can communicate with each other in a peer-to-peer fashion. A MANET per se constitutes an isolated island, but as people carry devices around that can join other MANETs, eventually people can transport previously collected data to the online world. Compared to other systems that aim to enable communication in crisis, our system differs in two ways: it does not rely on existing network infrastructure, and it exploits established protocols and standards allowing it to run on off-the-shelf, commercially available smartphones. We evaluated our prototype with a group of students and practitioners. Overall, we received positive feedback on the potential of our technology, but also were pointed to limitations requiring future work. | ||||

Title | Using the Image-Text Relationship to Improve Multimodal Disaster Tweet Classification | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2021 | Publication | ISCRAM 2021 Conference Proceedings – 18th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2021 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | 691-704 | ||
Keywords | Multi-modal disaster tweet classification, Image-text coherence relationship prediction, ViLBERT | ||||
Abstract | In this paper, we show that the text-image relationship of disaster tweets can be used to improve the classification of tweets from emergency situations. To this end, we introduce DisRel, a dataset which contains 4,600 multimodal tweets, collected during the disasters that hit the USA in 2017, and manually annotated with coherence image-text relationships, such as Similar and Complementary. We explore multiple models to detect these relationships and perform a comprehensive analysis into the robustness of these methods. Based on these models, we build a simple feature augmentation approach that can leverage the text-image relationship. We test our methods on 2 tasks in CrisisMMD: Humanitarian Categories and Damage Assessment, and observe an increase in the performance of the relationship-aware methods. | ||||

Title | Simulating real-time Twitter data from historical datasets | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2019 | Publication | Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2019 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
Keywords | Twitter, Simulation, Crisis Response, Social Media | ||||
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. | ||||
