Using Big Data for Humanitarian Crisis Mapping | MongoDB Blog` The use of big data and data management tools is becoming increasingly important in humanitarian crisis mapping, enabling aid groups to monitor social media and online reports to find areas of greatest damage and direct resources accordingly. This approach streamlines crisis management and prevention by using real-time data monitoring to anticipate and respond to emergencies. Big data can create a clear picture of a disaster's regional effects and has the potential to soothe social discontent by analyzing behavioral patterns and semantic trends in social media. The tech industry is observing partnerships between companies, corporations, and humanitarian initiatives to leverage big data for development, with MongoDB playing a role in several organizations' use of data mining to augment public service. As this movement grows, it will be interesting to see how the industry shifts to make room for its new use of data.
