System and method for crowdsourcing event-related social media posts

A system for facilitating crowdsourcing of event-related social media posts, comprising:

• one or more physical processors programmed with one or more computer program instructions which, when executed, cause the one or more physical processors to:
• receive, from a first user, a first post that includes information specifying a first meteorological event;
• and
• obtain information specifying a first location associated with the first post;
• determine whether the first location is within a predetermined proximity threshold of a second location associated with a second post that includes information specifying the first meteorological event;
• and
• present the first post to one or more other users in response to a determination that the first location is not within the predetermined proximity threshold.

A computer-implemented method of facilitating crowdsourcing of event-related social media posts, the method being implemented by a computer system that includes one or more physical processors programmed with one or more computer program instructions which, when executed, perform the method, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a first user at the computer system, a first post that includes information specifying a first meteorological event;
• and
• obtaining, by the computer system, information specifying a first location associated with the first post;
• determining, by the computer system, whether the first location and a second location associated with a second post that includes information specifying the first meteorological event are within a predetermined proximity threshold of one another;
• and
• presenting, by the computer system, the first post to one or more other users in response to a determination that the first location and the second location are not within the predetermined proximity threshold of one another.
