Facebook Safety Check for Nepal Earthquake
Safety Check gives you an easy and simple way to say you’re safe and check on all your friends and family in one place. It’s a tool that helps you stay connected to those you care about, and gives you the comfort of knowing your loved ones are safe.
This Safety Check tool will help you:
Let friends and family know you’re safe
Check on others in the affected area
Mark your friends as safe
Only your friends will see your safety status and the comments you share.
When the tool is activated after a natural disaster and if you’re in the affected area, you’ll receive a Facebook notification asking if you’re safe.
Facebook will 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.
If you have friends in the area of a natural disaster and the tool has been activated, you will receive a notification about those friends that have marked themselves as safe. Clicking on this notification will take you to the Safety Check bookmark that will show you a list of their updates.
