Abstract
Social media may be utilized to facilitate distribution of emergency alert messages. An emergency alert server may receive an indication of emergency and generate an emergency alert message based on the indication. The emergency alert message may then be distributed via social media and/or other mediums. An indication of trustworthiness may be incorporated in the emergency alert message. The indication of trustworthiness may be validated by validation system.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a server, an indication of an emergency;
- generating, by the server, an emergency alert message associated with the emergency, wherein the emergency alert message is determined by analyzing first information posted on a social media;
- distributing, by the server, the emergency alert message via the social media;
- receiving second information associated with the distributed emergency alert message via the social media, the second information comprising a determination of trustworthiness of the distributed emergency alert message, wherein the trustworthiness of the distributed emergency alert message is based on a user feedback from the recipients of the distributed emergency alert message via the social media, the user feedback comprises a vote;
- updating the emergency alert message based on analyzing the second information gathered subsequent to the first information on the social media;
- and
- displaying a map, the map based on the updated emergency alert message.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving an indication of an emergency;
- generating an emergency alert message associated with the emergency, wherein the emergency alert message is determined by analyzing first information posted on a social media;
- distributing the emergency alert message via the social media;
- receiving second information associated with the distributed emergency alert message via the social media, the second information comprising a determination of trustworthiness of the distributed emergency alert message, wherein the trustworthiness of the distributed emergency alert message is based on a user feedback from the recipients of the distributed emergency alert message via the social media;
- updating the emergency alert message based on analyzing the second information gathered subsequent to the first information on the social media;
- and
- providing to a display a map based on the updated emergency alert message.
A device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving, by the processor, an indication of an emergency;
- generating, by the processor, an emergency alert message associated with the emergency, wherein the emergency alert message is determined by analyzing first information posted on a social media;
- distributing the emergency alert message via the social media;
- receiving second information associated with the distributed emergency alert message via the social media, the second information comprising a determination of trustworthiness of the distributed emergency alert message, wherein the trustworthiness of the distributed emergency alert message is based on a vote from the recipients of the distributed emergency alert message via the social media;
- updating the emergency alert message based on analyzing the second information gathered subsequent to the first information on the social media;
- and
- providing to a display a map based on the updated emergency alert message.
