Here’s a rundown from Environment & Energy Publishing (E&E) on how social media, especially Twitter, is being used as a crisis communication tool. “We have an incredibly powerful device in our hands,” says Matthew Seeger, professor of communication at Wayne State University, “Social media gives us real-time or near-real-time information flows around a disaster, and that is powerful.”

“A single tweet is quite uncertain,”  adds Dirk Eilander, a flood expert. “But if you look at a bunch of tweets together, you can get quite accurate information.”
