Using Tiktok for equitable disaster communication and research

Several TikTok videos were carefully examined to investigate their role as a significant form of communication throughout the disaster cycle. Using textual and narrative analysis, I found that TikTok videos provide valuable insights while allowing affected parties to share crucial information and updates during natural hazard events. Please find some examples of these videos below!

TikTok's collaborative and participatory structure, as well as its ability to distribute community knowledge, can boost approaches for community adaptation planning while maintaining ethical boundaries. It also helps affected parties connect with their communities, make decisions, and practice resilience outside formal channels.
