“…"Vulnerability" typically denotes the susceptibility of individuals to encounter negative consequences as a result of hazard exposure (Tierney, 2019). Vulnerability to disasters is not a static phenomenon but rather a dynamic process that is shaped by human agency, surrounding technologies, resilience of the society, as well as social support from private and state actors Sun & Liu, 2023). At the intersection of these factors, the gaps in the functionality of public support structures, including the information and communication services provided by disaster management authorities, may undermine the coping capacities of individuals and societies.…”

In this article, we provide an overview of the ways in which disaster managers in eight European countries use social media to mitigate people's vulnerability to hazards. Our document analysis and 95 expert interviews in Germany, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Hungary, Finland, Norway, and Estonia revealed six distinct institutional social media practices that may reduce disaster vulnerability: sharing educational guidelines, informing and warning the public, identifying citizens' concerns, identifying missing persons, sharing guidelines during disaster, and organizing volunteers. We discuss how these practices could affect people's ability to access, understand, and react adequately to information about risks and hazards. Our findings can be used to improve guidelines for official crisis communication on social media and demonstrate the value of using social media in disaster risk reduction.

“…Major emergencies involve the concentrated emergence of deep-seated risks under speci c conditions resulting from complex interactions and couplings 11 . An emergency response to such events poses challenges and tests the crisis response capabilities of urban areas, magnifying the underlying issues in the operation and governance of the urban social system.…”

To accurately grasp the logic and challenges of urban social governance during extreme weather disasters, this paper examines the 7.20 Heavy Rain Disaster in Zhengzhou, Henan, as a case study. After comprehensively reviewing the evolution of disasters and failures in emergency responses, several issues were identified in the urban social governance mechanisms for extreme weather risks, such as inadequate agility in adapting to extreme weather, limited effectiveness of grassroots governance, and insufficient overall coordination in handling extreme weather risks. Using complex adaptive systems theory, a framework is proposed for understanding the complex adaptive response of urban social governance to extreme weather risks. On the basis of this framework, the paper recommends innovative pathways for urban social governance to cope with extreme weather risks, including enhancing the agility of overall urban disaster response through digital empowerment, unleashing grassroots resilience in emergency responses by adjusting authority relationships, and improving intergovernmental coordination capacities by establishing standardized contingency plans.
