Abstract
Environmental disasters caused by human activities are increasing. Despite the availability of data from many agencies, it can be challenging for citizens and local decision-makers to discover and make sense of information about an unfolding environmental disaster in a timely manner. Common operational picture tools (COPs) are standard tools in a crisis informatics toolbox; however, COPs are infrequently the type of technology used to share environmental information. This paper offers a systematic literature review of crisis informatics tools used to support decision-making during environmental events in North America. The results show that much of the literature in this space has focused on social media to support situation awareness, however, data from authoritative sources are not always present in this medium. We discuss these results in light of insights from the crisis informatics field to support situation awareness during a crisis.
