%X The ways and extent to which LEAs and other crisis responders might possibly harness new communication media ¨C particularly web-based social media such as Twitter and Facebook, and the prolific use of high-tech mobile devices to provide efficient and effective communication and enhanced situational awareness during a crisis is being explored by Sheffield Hallam University¡¯s EC-funded ATHENA project, which comes to an end in December 2016. This article is the first of a two-part analysis of that seminal project funded by the European Commission and considers the legal issues arising from utilising citizen responders¡¯ data in civil emergencies
