Emerging Technologies in Disaster Management

Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Pine

From Facebook and Twitter to mass text message alerts, government at all levels is embracing (or struggling to embrace) emerging technologies to aid in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. What are these new technologies and how are they being used in emergency management? What is the perception of how social media is used by the public in a disaster situation? What is the effect of these emerging technologies, and the public perception of them, on policy at various levels of government
