Emergency information diffusion on online social media during storm Cindy in U.S.
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Social media plays a critical role in propagating emergency information during disasters. Governmental agencies have opened social media accounts for emergency communication channels. To understand the underlying mechanism of user behaviors and engagement, this study employs social network analysis to investigate information network and diffusion across news, weather agencies, governmental agencies, organizations and the public during the 2017 Storm Cindy in the U.S. This study identified certain types of Twitter users (news and weather agencies) were dominant as information sources and information diffusers (the public and organizations). However, the information flow in the network was controlled by numerous types of users including news, agency, weather agencies and the public. The results highlighted the importance of understanding the unique characteristics of social media and networks for better emergency communication system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
