Abstract

Describes how the Internet was used to gather reports following the Northridge earthquake in the Los Angeles area. Resources used were: E-mail reports to various LISTSERVS, personal e-mail, commercial e-mail, and the California Emergency Services Network which was accessible via the Internet. Also examines the question of improper postings on the Internet following the receipt by several lists of a message prophesizing the second coming which had been prompted by the earthquake
