Abstract

Human computation methods involving the use of real-time social media data have been used successfully to support humanitarian efforts for disaster-affected communities. Through an examination of various case studies, this chapter describes specific crowdsourcing methodologies applied to disaster relief, with attention to the challenges, benefits, and outcomes. Furthermore, consideration is given to potential methods that might combine more effectively the roles of machines and humans, such as adaptive systems, gamification, and high volume analytic techniques. A “call to action” concludes the chapter, endorsing a policy by which existing volume limitations on social media data access are suspended temporarily for humanitarian aid organizations during emergent crises.
