Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - What is the first thing that ordinary people, for whom journalists are the proxy, ask when they meet a seismologist It is certainly nothing technical like 'What was the stress drop of the last earthquake in the Imperial Valley ' It is a sim ple question, which nevertheless summarizes the real demands that society has for seismology. This question is 'Can you predict earthquakes ' Regrettably, notwithstanding the feeling of omnipotence induced by modem technology, the answer at present is the very opposite of 'Yes, of course'. The primary motivation for the question 'Can you predict earthquakes ' is practical.

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book presents a comprehensive framework for disaster communication, with a main focus on earthquake-related communication, building on a previously fragmented, single-case study approach to analysing the role of social media during natural disasters. The authors consider both traditional communication patterns and a networked model. Following traditional command-and-control disaster management paradigms, disaster communication has historically been framed as a linear process, in which experts or authorities give instructions to a passive audience. In recent years growing attention has been devoted to bottom-up disaster communication processes, and scholars have begun to focus on activities performed by citizens through digital media. These activities include eyewitness information sharing, collective intelligence processes, and digital volunteering. Each chapter identifies and addresses four different scenarios: top-down information sharing, citizen information gathering, institutional communication gathering, and bottom-up information sharing.…
