This book explores how social media and its advances enables
citizens to empower themselves during a crisis. The book addresses
the key issues related to crises management and social media as the
new platform to assist citizens and first responders dealing with
multiple forms of crisis, from major terrorist attacks, larger
scale public disorder, large-scale movement of people across
borders, and natural disasters. The book is based on the results
and knowledge gained during the European Commission ATHENA project
which has been addressing critical issues in contemporary crisis
management and social media and smart mobile communications. This
book is authored by a mix of global contributors from across the
landscape of academia, emergency response and experts in government
policy and private industry. This title explores and explains that
during a modern crisis, the public self-organizes into voluntary
groups, adapt quickly to changing circumstances, emerge as leaders
and experts and perform life-saving actions; and that they are
increasingly reliant upon the use of new communications media to do
it.
