Description Social media has been used spontaneously by citizens to enhance resilience and solidarity in affected communities.  The present citizen-led efforts may be modified to improve collective intelligence in catastrophes and ensure that the data supplied is as accurate as feasible. It can also create opportunities for two-way dialogue and interaction among organizations, the public, and individuals. The project titled “Investigating ways to improve social media usage in disaster preparedness phase: A study on Delhi based NGOs” will investigate the different ways to improve the usage of social media for disasters and emergencies.
