| Research shows that social media is changing the way we relate to terror – both the attacks themselves and their aftermath. Attacks are having more widespread and longer-lasting impacts. The ubiquity of smartphones means that terror attacks can almost be followed in real-time. One of the people trapped in the Bataclan concert venue during the Paris attacks described what was happening and pleaded for rescue. Impacts of terrorist attacks on people & communities are becoming more widespread & longer-lasting – creating a need for management strategies encompassing different agencies that address the longer-term community impacts. |
