During Hurricane Sandy, more than 20+ million tweets were posted about the disaster.
iRevolutions calculates that "Even if only 0.001% of these tweets were useful, and only half of these were accurate, this would still mean over 1,000 real-time and informative tweets, or some 15,000 words. That is the equivalent of a 25-page, single-space document exclusively composed of fully relevant, actionable intelligence.”
So, how can monitoring social media data help during a hurricane?
