I don't have any connection to the SRC but a search of their website and
a more general google search does not provide any hits involving tweets
or twitter.  It is possible that there is such research that hasn't been
published yet or, if published, is in another language.  There is a 
paper
the examines tweets and other data from the "Great East Japan 
Earthquake"
and though it is unaffiliated with the SRC it does cite an SRC 
publication

that reports a survey of the people affected by the earthquake but the
paper is in Japanese.  The original article is available here:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/29901_Behaviour_Analysis_Using_Tweet_Data_and_geo-tag_Data_in_a_Natural_Disaster

The SRC report in the reference list is identified as "Survey Research
Center 2011" and a weblink is provided to the report. So, if you can
read Japanese, one might be able to figure out if the SRC used tweet
data in this instance.

Studying communities impacted by traumatic events is often costly, 
requires swift action to enter the field when disaster strikes, and may 
be invasive for some traumatized respondents. Typically, individuals are 
studied after the traumatic event with no baseline data against which to 
compare their postdisaster responses. Given these challenges, we used 
longitudinal Twitter data across 3 case studies to examine the impact of 
violence near or on college campuses in the communities of Isla Vista, 
CA, Flagstaff, AZ, and Roseburg, OR, compared with control communities, 
between 2014 and 2015. To identify users likely to live in each 
community, we sought Twitter accounts local to those communities and 
downloaded tweets of their respective followers. Tweets were then coded 
for the presence of event-related negative emotion words using a 
computerized text analysis method (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count, 
LIWC). In Case Study 1, we observed an increase in postevent negative 
emotion expression among sampled followers after mass violence, and show 
how patterns of response appear differently based on the timeframe under 
scrutiny. In Case Study 2, we replicate the pattern of results among 
users in the control group from Case Study 1 after a campus shooting in 
that community killed 1 student. In Case Study 3, we replicate this

I'm sure a content analysis can't be far behind, if only from the literary
