&lt;div&gt;Sales, N. D. (2017). &#039;&#039;Not just your ordinary social media(ting): A descriptive study on the functional role of Twitter during typhoon Lawin&#039;&#039;, Unpublished Undergraduate Dissertation, University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Abstract&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When typhoon Lawin entered the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on&lt;br /&gt;
October 2016, social media did not only help in disseminating information about the&lt;br /&gt;
status of the disaster’s victims—their whereabouts, condition, needs—but also mediated&lt;br /&gt;
users’ need for emotional support and safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To describe in this study how Twitter was used at the impact phase of typhoon&lt;br /&gt;
Lawin, I used semiotics and qualitative content analysis to collect and code tweets after&lt;br /&gt;
the framework outlined by Alexander (2014) and Houston, et al. (2015). Twitter&lt;br /&gt;
components such as tweet text, retweet, and hashtag contributed in the meaning-making&lt;br /&gt;
process of users in extending their sympathy, affection, and care to typhoon’s victims.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, collected data showed that Twitter users’ need for comfort and&lt;br /&gt;
companionship is more apparent than their need for information regarding the typhoon&lt;br /&gt;
and its physical impact to people and communities. These needs were mediated by&lt;br /&gt;
Twitter online.&lt;br /&gt;
