The Power of Social Media in Framing Natural Disaster Issues at BMKG Indonesia

Indonesia is prone to tsunami; from local to giant tsunami. The giant tsunami hit Aceh on December 26, 2004. It's estimated quarter of a million people around the Indian Ocean region was dead. The arrival time of local tsunami is very short, between 10-60 minutes (the golden times) that makes the tsunami early warning information dissemination becomes challenging. This will have a direct impact on evacuation procedures and evacuation time which is very short.
