This is the dataset for the paper:

Moumita Basu, Anurag Shandilya, Prannay Khosla, Kripabandhu Ghosh, Saptarshi Ghosh. Extracting Resource Needs and Availabilities from Microblogs for Aiding Post-Disaster Relief Operations. IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems, 2019.

The data contains tweetids of tweets (from Twitter) posted during (1) the 2015 Nepal earthquake, and (2) 2016 Italy earthquake. The tweets that inform about need and availability of various types of resources are identified.
