This paper summarizes key opportunities and challenges identified during the workshop “Social Media for Disaster
Risk Management: Researchers Meet Practitioners” which took place online in November 2020. It constitutes a
work-in-progress towards identifying new directions for research and development of systems that can better serve
the information needs of emergency managers.
Practitioners widely recognize the potential of accessing timely information from social media. Nevertheless, the
discussion outlined some critical challenges for improving its adoption during crises. In particular, validating such
information and integrating it with authoritative information and into more traditional information systems for
emergency managers requires further work, and the negative impacts of misinformation and disinformation need to
be prevented.
