Abstract

Disasters can have severe and long‐lasting consequences for individuals and communities. While scholarly evidence indicates that access to social support can ameliorate their negative impacts, less understood is whether or not neighbourhood social capital can facilitate recovery. This study uses two waves of survey data—collected before and after a significant flood in Brisbane, Australia, in 2011—to examine the relationship between the severity of the event at the individual and neighbourhood level, access to neighbourhood social capital and individual‐level social support, and functioning in the post‐disaster environment. In line with previous research, the results indicate that the severity of the flood is the most salient predictor of post‐disaster functioning. No evidence was unearthed to show that neighbourhood social capital amassed before the flood leads to better functioning subsequently, but the findings do suggest that individual‐level social support can moderate the effect of flood severity on functioning.

Abstract

Social Media is pervasive, and today it is transforming how individuals communicate with each other and also how people now discover and share information. Regardless of genre, social media, today equate to a powerful, influential, and revolutionary model for exposing and diffusing public opinion. The Web and social media sites in particular, are an increasingly important component of crisis and emergency communication. For crisis communication practitioners to act effectively on behalf of organisations, they must monitor and track both traditional and new media sources for information and issues, and respond accordingly. This paper presents findings from an exploratory study into the use of social media during recent natural disasters in Australia, Japan and New Zealand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
