When natural disasters strike, social networks like Facebook and X (formerly known as Twitter) can be powerful tools for public communication—but often, rescue workers and government officials struggle to make themselves heard above the general hubbub.
The 2024 International Conference on Resilient Systems is your platform to explore the critical domains of resilience in an era marked by increasing complexity and uncertainty.
More accurate ‘nowcasting’ algorithms are needed to support community responses to sudden storms, floods, and other emergencies effectively.
This year’s in-person conference will be a platform for researchers across the world to gather and share expertise in the design, analysis and governance of resilient interconnected social-technical-environment (STE) systems.
Research by Stevens Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon suggests that monitoring social media during hurricanes could help communities better plan for and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Stevens researcher and colleague find flood levels reached by Superstorm Sandy could be seen in Jamaica Bay every four years by the end of the 21st century
