Strengthening Social Ties and Cultivating Resilience during Hurricane Season through Social Media

Haley Weber 8/10/235:24 AM

For PHC6541, this Multi-Level Public Health Resilience-Building Intervention targets undergraduate students attending the University of Florida during hurricane season, as research indicates this population is particularly vulnerable at that time, such as lacking reliable transportation and living several hours or more away from home (Simms et al., 2013).

The proposed Instagram account, @ufdisasterpreparedness, seeks to build resilience by strengthening and connecting undergraduate students before, during, and after a disaster. With the help of this Instagram account, students will feel safer with immediate access to chat with other members of the group, find safety or shelter, and obtain weather updates.
