Social Media (SM) use as a tool in hurricane disaster response has continued to increase. The use of SM was evident in response to Hurricanes Sandy in 2012 and Irma in 2017, but what was not known was how emergency managers in the southeastern region of the U.S. perceived they could improve SM use during future Hurricane response and recovery from their experience. Hurricane Irma demonstrated how improved SM use could impact the effectiveness of future response and recovery. The literature showed evidence that previous research had studied challenges in response and recovery but not how emergency managers in the southeastern region of the U.S. perceived they could improve emergency response challenges. This research study aimed at filling this gap. The population target was emergency managers, with a sample size of n=10 using purposive sampling. The current study used a generic qualitative research methodology basing analysis on the structural/functionalism theoretical framework. The findings concluded that the E.M.s perceived that pushing out information and continuous interaction with communities through SM before the event could reduce misinformation and have a positive impact on the response and recovery efforts.
