TITLE: Digitalization of Resilience

ABSTRACT: Resilience places the responsibility to overcome disruption and shock within the local population. The current “digitalization of everything” contributes to this development in its own way as local populations increasingly generate data about the course of events during crises. During the Haiti Earthquake in 2010, Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and the Typhoon Yolanda on the Philippines in 2013 “disaster populations” increasingly used websites and social media to share information about dangerous areas, missing persons, as well as access to food, water, and critical infrastructure. Public and private efforts are currently undertaken to harvest the potential of digitally shared information about crises in order to enhance disaster resilience. This paper provides a study of what exactly social media have been used for in the aftermath of the 22nd of July attacks in Norway and investigates the effects this had on resilience. It critically discusses the findings vis-à-vis emerging governmental practices of collecting, synthesizing and analyzing data in order to remote-control, define and measure resilience through big data.
