摘要:Emergency planners and responders are increasingly investigating the potential of social media as an information source "from the crowd" for providing critical information for emergency response. The proposed map-based social media widget, which may be integrated into a variety of web-based mapping applications, will provide users with an organized and comprehensive pool of real-time data gathered from one of the most popular social m edia source, Twitter. The widget focuses on developing solutions for two primary challenges related to information from social media sources ¨Cgathering and storing real-time data, and filtering and visualizing the gathered information based on required criteria. Users can view filtered data by keyword, time, and location. A user-friendly map for graphical display of feed locations is generated in order to provide a geographic context to an emergency situation
