Facebook improves its emergency service for catastrophes

Some time ago, Facebook introduced a function that allowed us to let our contacts know that we were safe in the event of a catastrophe or an attack. A function that we can use and allows us to share our location in real time. This tool is very useful and works well. Although, the social network is going to introduce a series of improvements in it.

The social network has decided to provide this function that allows us to communicate that we are safe from more functions. These functions are dedicated to organizations and companies, which can provide more help in this type of situation.

Improvements to the Facebook emergency service

These improvements in the function go through that the organizations can indicate information of relevance for the users. From offering directions such as saying where to care for the wounded from said catastrophe or attack. So attendance can be much more organized. In addition to that the information arrives before and in a direct way. This is a feature that is coming soon.

In addition, Facebook has already revealed some of the organizations that will receive it and will begin to make use of it. These include Direct Relief, Lyft, Chase, Feeding America, International Medical Corps, The California Department of Forestry and Fire, and Save the Children.

At the moment it is focused on organizations in the United States. Although it is sure that it will reach other organizations in other countries over time. Without a doubt it is a function of enormous utility and that can be helpful in saving lives.
