Doing their part to help during natural calamities and other disasters, Facebook has introduced Safety Check, which will send subscribers in a certain area hit by a disaster with the notification asking: “Are you OK?” If they select “I’m safe,” their friends in the area will receive the notification on their news feed. If you can’t access Facebook but are safe, your friends can mark you safe as well.
Safety Check will be available all over the world on desktop, iOS, Android, and feature phones. However, a missing feature is you can’t respond “No” and you won’t be able to say if you need rescue. Hopefully, this feature evolves a bit more and would truly make the social network something useful in times of need.
