ABSTRACT
During large-scale emergencies such as natural and man-made disasters, a massive amount of information is posted by the public in social media. Collecting, aggregating, and presenting this information to stakeholders can be extremely challenging, particularly if an understanding of the "big picture»» is sought. This international workshop, the fifth in the series, is a key venue for researchers and practitioners to discuss research challenges and technical issues around the usage of social media in disaster management.
