National crisis events, such as the Great Recession or a pandemic, pose significant challenges, emphasizing the critical role of government emergency policies in shaping societal responses.

Recognizing an opportunity t…

It assesses the strategies that EMOs and other stakeholders employed to communicate risks on Twitter, concluding that its potential has not been fully exploited.
