Abstract:

In September 2017, Hurricane Mar\'{i}a made landfall across the Caribbean region as a category 4 storm. In the aftermath, many residents of Puerto Rico were without power or clean running water for nearly a year. Using both English and Spanish tweets, we investigate discussion of Mar\'{i}a both on and off the island, constructing a proxy for the temporal network of communication between victims of the hurricane and others. We use information theoretic tools to compare the lexical divergence of different subgroups within the network. Lastly, we quantify temporal changes in user prominence throughout the event. Our findings reveal insight into ways social media campaigns could be deployed to disseminate relief information during similar events in the future.
