Crowdsourcing is a newly emerging service platform and business model in the
Internet. Analysis and description about urban emergency events, e.g., fires, storms and traffic
jams are of great importance to protect the security of humans. Recently, social media feeds
are rapidly emerging as a novel platform for providing and dissemination of information that is
often geographic. In this paper, in order to describe the timeline of real-time urban emergency
events, the new web mining task timeline description (TD) is proposed. Firstly, the related
information of an urban emergency event is extracted from Weibo messages. Secondly, the valid
message including the semantic or spatial information is detected in this step. Thirdly, detected
valid messages are used to build the TD. Case studies on real datasets show the proposed model
has good performance and high effectiveness in the analysis and description of urban emergency events.
