Eye-witness story about the floods last week in Kibera (the biggest slum in the world, 700.000 people). Solution says community member Malasen Hamida: “Plant trees and organize garbage disposal”. By @nicerawanjiruki posted on @Globalviceversa. Great read. https://t.co/BRK4oy1Te5
HT @TanzanianRedCross who responded to yesterday's floods in Dar extremely fast. Proud that our software could play central role. With @TAHMO_World telemetric stations, @DelftFEWS @deltares forecasts and @FloodTags media monitoring & #crowdsourcing via @Telegram. #floods#BeSafe
@pazjusticiavida Cool indeed. Combining with other information (such as media data..) would help overcome temporal resolution problems and reduce false positives and negatives. Could be interesting next research question.
Deltares and FloodTags signed a Collaboration Agreement today, to enhance the use of online media data in model validation, real-time monitoring and two-way communication via DM. For instance, FloodTags data is now available in Delft-FEWS, in real-time! #Deltares#FloodTags
Prime minister Mark Rutte visiting our next door neighbour in The Hague: Marcello's art factory. (with the prime minister arriving on his bicycle, naturally). Thanks for the hospitality @marcellosart! And great photo exhibition by
(ex)nightmayor Rene Bom. https://t.co/o24cQuk5Ct
Inspiring inaugural speech of Martha Larson, Professor Multimedia Information Technology at Radboud University Nijmegen. Clear elaboration on the bright and the dark side of multimedia analysis. Proud she mentioned Floodtags too (on the bright side ;)). @Radboud_Uni@CLSRadboud
Social media is not the solution but a useful supportive tool for providing additional info pre- and post- disaster. @floodtags uses social media with existing data sets and maps to understand floods @jens_debruijn #UR2018
This morning at #UR2018, our colleague @jens_debruijn will present his work with @floodtags on how social media can be used in disaster management. For info on the session: https://t.co/qnl68XIsBL. See also: https://t.co/8MGxPw6lOF and https://t.co/SdZUqR8Yse.
