Emergency planners can use the guidance in this document to better understand the use of social media in developing situational awareness (e.g., monitoring, crowdsourcing, and intelligence gathering), and analyzing data (e.g., baseline vs. event detection, and trend analysis). Other sections discuss challenges associated with technology (e.g., the use of third-party platforms, lapses in time and space) and information (e.g., aggregating and filtering, verifying, and integrating).
