Tech-Tuesdays | Media Technology Impact on Disaster Response

Since the emergence of the first camera and radio systems
over a century ago, media systems have played an essential part in
our society. Not only for entertainment purposes, but also for
documentation, communication, analysis, and training. Especially
during disasters and emergencies, media has become a primary tool
transporting information, documenting situations, planning
responses, as well as predicting problems and allowing pre-emptive
decision-making. Let’s talk about how media technology has
affected the way we respond to disasters, as well as how we
consume and share news and information.
