It is the Regional Disaster Management Agency’s (BPBD) onus of South Sulawesi to assist the Governor in organizing regional government administration within the scope of regional disaster management. Among BPBD’s duties in South Sulawesi in handling corpses of natural disaster are: intact Muslim corpses are handled normally, in which the bodies were washed, shrouded, sanctified and buried by following the procedures that have been determined by the Shari'ah. Afterwards, decaying and unrecognizable Muslim corpses were directly shrouded, sanctified then buried. Whilst the large numbers corpses that mixed between Muslims and non-Muslims, were immediately buried and sanctified by religious leaders from each of the existing religious representatives. Hereinafter, the constraints faced by the BPBD of South Sulawesi in handling the corpses of natural disasters include: limited equipment, difficulty in reaching the location and the identification process which requires a long time. The Islamic law view regarding the handling of the natural disasters corpses is that basically, in normal conditions, the corpses must be washed, shrouded, sanctified and buried according to the procedures that have been determined by Islamic law. When a disaster occurs, the handling of the body is still carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Shari'ah but in an emergency situation.

Location detection in social-media microtexts is an important natural language processing task for emergency-based contexts where locative references are identified in text data. Spatial information obtained from texts is essential to understand where an incident happened, where people are in need of help and/or which areas have been affected. This information contributes to raising emergency situation awareness, which is then passed on to emergency responders and competent authorities to act as quickly as possible. Annotated text data are necessary for building and evaluating location-detection systems. The problem is that available corpora of tweets for location-detection tasks are either lacking or, at best, annotated with coarse-grained location types (e.g. cities, towns, countries, some buildings, etc.). To bridge this gap, we present our semi-automatically annotated corpus, the Fine-Grained LOCation Tweet Corpus (FGLOCTweet Corpus), an English tweet-based corpus for fine-grained location-detection tasks, including fine-grained locative references (i.e. geopolitical entities, natural landforms, points of interest and traffic ways) together with their surrounding locative markers (i.e. direction, distance, movement or time). It includes annotated tweet data for training and evaluation purposes, which can be used to advance research in location detection, as well as in the study of the linguistic representation of place or of the microtext genre of social media.
