Tweets during 2013 Colorado floods gave engineers valuable data on infrastructure damage

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 10:33 AM PDT

Tweets sent during last year's massive flooding on Colorado's Front Range were able to detail the scope of damage to the area's infrastructure, according to a study. The findings can help geotechnical and structural engineers more effectively direct their reconnaissance efforts after future natural disasters -- including earthquakes, tsunamis and tornadoes -- as well as provide them data that might otherwise be lost due to rapid cleanup efforts.
