Researchers are examining how news coverage and social media activity during some of the largest disasters in recent years can help decision makers and incident managers prepare for future crisis situations. They hope to identify examples of good practice for information dissemination to the public during crises. These will be used to develop a communication strategy for emergency services and incident managers to aid their preparation for future disaster events.
