N2 - The review set out to explore the literature on the impact of big data and digital technologies on security leadership decision-making outcome effectiveness, if any, during natural disasters. It was necessary to undertake this study because of the large proportion of studies on natural disasters and crisis leadership and emergency response and the association of effectiveness to the interventions of these technologies. This is even though there are examples even in the literature where the outcomes have not been effective notwithstanding the deployment of these tools in disaster response. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework, 42 articles were selected for meta-synthesis after meeting the inclusion criteria. The review finds that social media especially Twitter and Facebook dominate other digital technologies in security leadership and natural disaster management as presented in the studies. Five core thematic categories emerged from these articles; they are big data and crisis decision-making, big data and crisis communication, big data and disaster preparedness information, big data and disaster recovery processes, and social media as public space in the context of disaster management. However, the result highlights the gap in the literature on the need to study those neglected cases where social media has led to ineffective outcomes.
