Survey-based data collection can suffer in emergency times, due for instance to the reduced availability of respondents. Having the possibility to use new data sources, like Big Data ones, can help to face several problems related to survey-based production (e.g. missing responses), especially in the response phase of the emergency. In addition, in the phase of recovery from the emergency, such sources can be very useful to study new phenomena (e.g. economic impact of the emergency). In this setting, the panel will discuss technical and organizational challenges related to the use of Big Data sources for the production of statistics for the collective good in emergency scenarios.
