“…Where sufficient good‐quality data are available, data‐driven or data analytic methods would be able to provide information about coastal flood hazards or hazard risk awareness at a relatively low computational cost (Hamdi et al., 2014; Karimiziarani et al., 2022, 2023; Pollar et al., 2018). While the majority of statistical methods for coastal flood assessment are based on the extreme value theorem (Caruso & Marani, 2022; Hamdi et al., 2014), some recent studies have proposed mixed distribution or meta‐statistical approaches (Ghanbari et al., 2019; Miniussi et al., 2020).…”

Flooding is one of the most frequent natural disasters that endanger people's livelihoods and causes serious economic losses and damages annually. According to reports provided by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, flooding accounted for 43.4% of all 7,255 disaster events recorded globally between 1998 and 2017 (UNDRR, 2020). Recent studies have shown that climate change associated with global warming has

“…While many studies have focused on the role of Social Media in improving the dissemination of critical information during crises [73] (e.g., [74]), several contributions [74][75][76][77] address the need for further research on disinformation and misinformation, pointing out a relatively limited number of studies on the topic. Indeed, exactly like in everyday life scenarios, Social Media has contributed to the creation and dissemination of false or misleading information [78,79].…”

This review proposes a concise literature review aimed at identifying the current body of knowledge on the adoption of Social Networks in crisis management. The major input is a structured research question based on the initial reading about the topic. Before the recent pandemic, most literature focused on local crises, with relatively few exceptions. Additionally, self-organising systems are spontaneously established between people who are affected by a crisis. The fundamental assumption underlying this study is the huge potential of Social Networks in the field of crisis management. That is supported, directly or indirectly, by a number of previous studies, which emphasise how effective adoption leads to better decision-making for crisis managers and local communities. Among the identified challenges is the need to integrate official communication by emergency agencies with citizen-generated content in a contest for credibility and trustworthiness. In certain cases, it has been reported that there is a lack of specific competence, knowledge, and expertise, as well as a lack of sufficient policies and guidelines for the use of Social Networks. Those challenges need to be framed by considering the classic difficulties of providing timely and accurate information to deal with fake news, unverified or misleading information, and information overload. Bridging major gaps through advanced analytics and AI-based technology is expected to provide a key contribution to establishing and safely enabling the practice of effective and efficient communication. This technology can help contrast dissonant mental models, which are often fostered by Social Networks, and enable shared situational awareness. Future research may take a closer look at AI technology and its impact on the role of Social Networks in managing crises.

“…Case studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of social media analytics in hurricane response and recovery. For instance, research has showcased the use of social media data to track hurricane movements, assess damage, and coordinate relief efforts during events like Hurricane Harvey [1], [67]- [72]. Best practices in this context include real-time monitoring of social media platforms, leveraging hashtags for information retrieval, and integrating social media data into decision support systems for resource allocation [49], [73]- [78].…”

“…Social media analytics have proven valuable in managing wildfires and their aftermath. Studies have highlighted the role of social media in disseminating evacuation notices, providing real-time updates on fire locations, and facilitating community support during wildfire events [1], [54], [79]- [84]. Best practices involve the use of geospatial analysis to monitor fire spread, sentiment analysis to gauge public perception, and network analysis to identify key influencers for information dissemination [85]- [92].…”
