Social Network Activation and Mobile Consumption After a Population Scale Disaster

We used the 2013 Ya’an earthquake as a natural experiment to discover latent properties of social networks and human behavior. 157,358 earthquake victims’ mobile phone records (communications, app usage, http browsing) were combined with socio-economic and earthquake data to link human response to a random natural phenomenon.
