Facebook Safety Check will help tell friends you're safe during disasters



 This article focuses on the new feature of facebook. From now on if any of your friends from facebook are involved in any natural disasters facebook will inform you if they are safe or not. Safety Check will work on the social network’s mobile and desktop versions, including its Android and iOS apps. “We’ll determine your location by looking at the city you have listed in your profile, your last location if you’ve opted in to the Nearby Friends product, and the city where you are using the internet,” explained Facebook’s Naimo Gleit. This shows that facebook is updating for those who have access to facebook but live in countries that face many natural disasters.

I personally believe that this is a very good way of informing people. For example there was a recent natural disaster that took place in the middle east and it was showed in the news all the family members that were able to escape were trying so hard to find out what happened to their relatives. I think that what facebook should do is try to help people who are not only involved un natural disasters for example the plane that went missing on the plane.
