The social network Facebook added a new tool to your platform and crisis response Safety Check from today will also enable people to request and offer help (such as food, shelter, and transportation), in situations of crisis or natural disasters.
Safety Check is a simple way to communicate with friends and family after unexpected situations, which allows people to notify that they are safe.
The new tool, called Community Help, broadens the scope of Safety Check, empowering people to help each other and in a direct way.
How does it work?
- when Safety Check is activated after a crisis or natural disaster, the people will begin to see the tool of Community Help.
- Community Help will allow people to offer or provide help, in addition to communicate with others by using Safety Check.
- The publications may be viewed by category or place, making it easier to search the help.
Community Help will be available after incidents such as earthquakes or fires. Facebook will begin testing the tool in Saudi Arabia, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and the united States, to understand how people use the Community Help, and as well to extend it later to other countries and other types of incidents.
