My contribution to the panel is to provide context about the use of social media in emergency and disaster response as well as an overview of some of the tools we saw deployed last year and we may see in the future. Social media, like all technology, is developed by people. That’s why the Atlanta councilman used twitter!

It could be checking in with people on a location-based social network. This focus on collective participation and 24/7 connectivity has impacted more than just our social lives. In 2009, for example, two trapped girls in Australia chose to post to facebook for help rather than dialing emergency numbers directly.
