### Dataset Summary

The HumAID Twitter dataset consists of several thousands of manually annotated tweets that has been collected during 19 major natural disaster events including earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, which happened from 2016 to 2019 across different parts of the World. The annotations in the provided datasets consists of following humanitarian categories. The dataset consists only english tweets and it is the largest dataset for crisis informatics so far.
** Humanitarian categories **
- Caution and advice
- Displaced people and evacuations
- Dont know cant judge
- Infrastructure and utility damage
- Injured or dead people
- Missing or found people
- Not humanitarian
- Other relevant information
- Requests or urgent needs
- Rescue volunteering or donation effort
- Sympathy and support

### Supported Tasks and Benchmark
The dataset can be used to train a model for multiclass tweet classification for disaster response. The benchmark results can be found in https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWSM/article/view/18116/17919.

Dataset is also released with event-wise and JSON objects for further research.
Full set of the dataset can be found in https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/A7NVF7
