Regional Conference on Online Media and Disaster Management: The 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, 2015 earthquake in Nepal, and 2015 floods in Chennai are just three examples where online tools and mobile technology played a significant role in disaster response. During the Chennai floods, individuals and organizations turned to Twitter, Facebook and other online platforms to request emergency assistance or crowd-source aid solutions. By exploring examples of what worked well and what didn’t, these disasters will give us a jumping off point to create dialogue among Indian and regional actors about overcoming challenges and identifying best practices in using online media during a natural disaster.
