A quick guide for journalists re: #HurricaneFlorence

A list of common problems with reporting during disasters and why they're a problem.

Your coverage of Florence has major implications.

#EMGTwitter People are not panicking. People are not looting.

When you perpetuate these disaster myths you risk the divergence of resources from the people who actually need assistance.

There are many ways the formal US emergency management system fails women but not preparing for the increase in domestic violence post-disaster is one of the most egregious.

(True internationally too but I'll just talk US here).

#EmergencyManagement101 #EMGTwitter Here’s what the research says:

Post-disaster the number of women who seek out domestic violence shelters & the number of reported cases of domestic violence increase. There is a resurgence/ increase in abuse & new cases of abuse reported.

So much disaster & emergency management research exists.

No one reads it. Let's change this.

My twitter resolution is to post one journal article a day for the whole year.
