Open Source Intelligence in Disaster Management

In this paper we discuss the role of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) in Disaster Management. In particular we present the use of the Sail Labs Media Mining System in the context of disaster relief operations and use samples to point out advantages and strengths of the MM-System. Future challenges in research and further development of this field are addressed towards the end of the paper.
