Facebook’s ‘Crisis Response’ Service In Nepal To Help In Times Of Crisis Facebook has launched a ‘Crisis Response‘ service in Nepal to provide accurate and precise information during floods, landslides and inundation in various parts of the country, including the capital, in addition to providing support and rescue to those in distress.
Under this service, people can provide information by marking whether they are safe or not. Similarly, in addition to rescuing people in emergencies, weed, shelter and cotton can also be managed. With the help of crisis response, information about what is happening in the surrounding areas can be obtained.
In it, Facebook has kept a list of places facing biological disasters. Nepal was placed on the crisis response list by Facebook 22 hours ago.
You can find out what news has come, what photos and videos have been released, and who has managed the food and accommodation.
If you have an emergency or are ready to help, you can post on Crisis Response and provide your contact details. People who need help can contact you by following the contact details provided by you.
What is crisis response?
Crisis Response is a special feature launched by Facebook to help in emergency situations. This service is designed to connect, share information, and provide assistance to affected individuals during natural disasters, humanitarian crises, or other emergencies.
How is crisis response used?
1) Safety Check
When a major disaster or crisis occurs, a feature called ‘Safety Check’ is activated on Facebook. People in the affected area can report that they are safe.
It helps friends and family to know their condition. You must have seen a post on Facebook called ‘So-and-so marked himself/herself safe’. That is the safety check. From there you can see which people you have an add-on have marked as safe.
2) News and information
Crisis response is used to get accurate information during a crisis. With this, emergency services, rescuers or affected people can easily share incident updates and information needed for assistance.
3) Aid and Rescue
Crisis Response provides an opportunity for affected individuals to request or provide assistance as needed. In this, people can provide emergency relief materials, rescue teams or other necessary assistance.
4) Collect financial support
If those who are in crisis need financial support, support can be raised through Facebook. It helps in mobilizing resources for aid and rescue in times of crisis. In this way, crisis response facilities help keep people safe, share essential information and provide support during times of crisis.
