Integrating Social Media into a Pan-European Flood Awareness System: A Multilingual Approach
This paper describes a prototype system that integrates social media analysis into the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS). This integration allows the collection of social media data to be automatically triggered by flood risk warnings determined by a hydro-meteorological model. Then, we adopt a multi-lingual approach to find flood-related messages by employing two state-of-the-art methodologies: language-agnostic word embeddings and language-aligned word embeddings. Both approaches can be used to bootstrap a classifier of social media messages for a new language with little or no labeled data. Finally, we describe a method for selecting relevant and representative messages and displaying them back in the interface of EFAS.

Enhancing Geo-localization for Crowdsourced Flood Imagery via LLM-Guided Attention
Crowdsourced social media imagery provides real-time visual evidence of urban flooding but often lacks reliable geographic metadata for emergency response. Existing Visual Place Recognition (VPR) models struggle to geo-l…
Visual Place RecognitionSpatial ReasoningSocial Media Alerts can Improve, but not Replace Hydrological Models for Forecasting Floods
Social media can be used for disaster risk reduction as a complement to traditional information sources, and the literature has suggested numerous ways to achieve this. In the case of floods, for instance, data collectio…
Flood severity mapping from Volunteered Geographic Information by interpreting water level from images containing people: a case study of Hurricane Harvey
With increasing urbanization, in recent years there has been a growing interest and need in monitoring and analyzing urban flood events. Social media, as a new data source, can provide real-time information for flood mon…
Water level prediction from social media images with a multi-task ranking approach
Floods are among the most frequent and catastrophic natural disasters and affect millions of people worldwide. It is important to create accurate flood maps to plan (offline) and conduct (real-time) flood mitigation and …
