Example text
The potential for using social networking technologies during crisis situations has also been highlighted in practice. During the Californian (USA) wildfires of October 2007 individuals located on the ground in Southern Californian posted information on platforms such as Twitter in order to inform others in the area of events as they evolved and in turn these posts aided real time decision making (Sutton et al. 2008; Prentice and Huffman 2008). The sharing of such information through social media allowed users to engage instantaneously with real time updates and informed their responses.
In this framing a sub-set of citizens become ‘prosumers’ (Tapscott and Williams 2006) and as a result crisis information exchange is more likely to be unpredictable and emergent in its character. local communities might become more responsible for their risk management’ (Coaffee and Rogers 2008). However, in the case of evacuation both the means and modes of self-direction might compete with traditional and enduring crisis communication messages. The central authority may therefore loose its centrality in information exchange and distribution.
Broadcast media continue to spread awareness throughout the process. In addition, once some people are informed, an element of social feedback comes into play. This involves people telling other people about the crisis, be it through direct telephone contact, spreading the news on social media websites, or through other means. We will see that a critical timescale is the ‘realize-and-relate’ interval: the time between realizing that currently consumed broadcast media has relevant information and relating it to another person.
