Abstract

This study examines the effects of Winter storm Jonas on spatial response and power law distribution. This study employs its own program called Twitgis for big data analyses to collect tweets data according to the pre-winter storm period, winter storm period, and post-winter storm period across the US states. This study finds that Winter storm Jonas plays a different role in the proportion of tweets according to periods and geographical locations. Tweets are highly fluctuated by periods and geographical locations. This study also finds that Winter storm Jonas plays a negative role in displacements over 150 km and reduces long distance trips. Lastly, this study shows that displacements in the winter storm period follow the power law distribution and show a significant difference from those in the non-winter storm period. The results in the paper allow governments and disaster managers to (1) explore online responses to natural disasters based on big data analyses of social media data, (2) understand spatial responses and displacements according to periods and regions, and (3) develop natural disaster policies based on a multitude of periods and regions.
