“…This study underscores the creative capacity of youth in disaster contexts (Peek et al, 2020), and it contributes to the understanding of how the youth can channel that agency to meaningfully help their communities in cases of crisis and disaster management using social media.

“…A recent systematic review on the use of technology to scale up youth-led participatory action research found few, albeit positive, examples of the powerful nature of adolescent SM engagement [ 33 ].
