Augmenting initial models with real-time analysis of social media and crowdsourced information can help identify overlooked areas. Twitter-sourced estimates were virtually available as people tweeted distress signals, of these parcel-level damage estimates, 46 percent were not captured by FEMA estimates.” FEMA MISSES HURRICANE DAMAGE REPORTED ON TWITTER 14
