“…Disasters, environmental or anthropogenic, have provided a unique scenario in consolidating technological advances and new social media that operate outside traditional information and aid intermediaries. For Cooper et al (2015), these social media represent a valuable opportunity to advance disaster risk management objectives related to mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Laituri e Kodrich (2008) indicate that online media has been particularly effective in facilitating the interactive communication of relevant information by connecting to a larger audience that can participate indirectly in the disaster.…”

This article presents the trends and patterns in media and disasters research over the last 20 years. The analysis focused on identifying the main theoretical and methodological references; the fundamental themes addressed in the selected studies; and the role of the media in disaster risk management. The research demonstrated that there is a high interest of the international scientific community in this area, signaling a search for the deepening of knowledge and the conceptual basis on the subject. Thus, this paper provides clues about the opportunities and directions for the next decades of research in this field of study.

“…Para Cooper et al (2015), estas mídias sociais representam uma valiosa oportunidade para promover os objetivos da gestão de risco de desastres relacionados com a mitigação, preparação, resposta e recuperação. Porém, deve-se ter em conta que os dispositivos técnicos estabelecem diferenças significativas na dinâmica das atividades, o que indica que relatar o impacto por meio de um tweet é diferente da produção de uma reportagem televisiva (Reis, Mattedi & Reimondo Barrios, 2017).…”

Em 2008, Blumenau sofreu o maior desastre socioambiental da história. Passados dez anos da tragédia, o presente trabalho reúne algumas reflexões sobre a mudança no emprego das tecnologias de comunicação na cobertura de fenômenos semelhantes. O quadro metodológico se constitui, desde uma perspectiva de ordem qualitativa, em uma investigação bibliográfica, adotando um enfoque exploratório e descritivo. A análise centrou-se em descrever como dito processo se desenvolveu na última década, tendo em conta que a mudança dos procedimentos técnicos e políticos para a confrontação de referidos fenômenos coincide com as transformações pelas quais as tecnologias da comunicação passaram. A pesquisa contribuiu para fornecer pistas sobre o papel que jornais, emissoras de rádio e de televisão, redes sociais virtuais e aplicativos móveis exerceram em Blumenau na construção da percepção pública dos riscos, e as implicações de tais enquadramentos para a gestão dos desastres.

Twitter has become a commonly used platform by both public and private organizations to assist with the dissemination of information related to disaster management. This research makes use of a mixed‐method approach in determining the extent and manner in which Twitter is used to disseminate disaster management information by both public and private organizations. This research found that public organizations are bound by strict regulations resulting in a lower volume and smaller variety of disaster‐related information being disseminated. The nature of an organization and the processes of decision making therein are suggested to influence the ability of an organization to successfully use Twitter as an effective tool for disaster management. Organizations in Thailand currently underutilize Twitter for disaster management, as neither public nor private organizations use Twitter as a multidirectional communication disaster management tool.
