Publication number: 20190164406Abstract: A computer monitors a plurality of social media communications. The computer identifies a first social media communication of the plurality of social media communications. The computer evaluates the first social media communication for a first communication emergency level. The computer identifies a first location associated with the first social media communication. The computer groups the first social media communication into a location group based, at least in part, on the identified first location. The computer evaluates a location group emergency level, based, at least in part, on the first communication emergency level of the first social media communication. The computer determines the location group emergency level exceeds a threshold value. The computer issues an emergency warning alert in response to determining that the location group emergency level exceeds the threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2017Publication date: May 30, 2019Inventors: John S.
