abstract = "During disasters, discover people{\textquoteright}s concerns dynamically is crucial to disaster rescue and relief. In this paper, we propose a social media based framework to analyze people{\textquoteright}s concerns, to access the importance and to track the dynamic changes of these concerns. To better understand people{\textquoteright}s concerns across platforms and to monitor the dynamics, we make comparisons between Tweets and news on the mentioned aspects and disclosed some interesting findings. Specifically, we take 2018 Camp Fire, the most destructive wildfire on record in history of California as a case study. We find that despite their keen attentions towards the disaster, social media and news media focus on different aspects of the disaster, so are the contents and dynamic changes of their concerns.",

CONCLUSION In this paper, we present a social media based framework to analyze people{\textquoteright}s concerns during disasters and its dynamics across two heterogeneous information source - news websites and social media. We take a multi-disciplinary perspective to characterize concern flows of the Camp Fire. We find that rescue related matters are social media users{\textquoteright} top concerns, while news media thinks about the disaster in a more general and broader way. Meanwhile, the information on news media is more influenced by political issues. Besides, social media users tend to be emotional at the beginning of such event, then become more calm as time goes by. VI.
