Facebook Safety Check

Facebook has said that it will start labelling all posts that talk about COVID-19 vaccines. It is also launching a tool in the US that will give people more information about where to get COVID-19 vaccines.

To help organisations locate their people in a crisis, Facebook is planning to introduce the Safety Check feature in Workplace.

Facebook on Tuesday said nearly 10,000 people have marked themselves safe till now, using the social network's "Safety Check" feature that was activated on Monday.

The Community Help feature was added to Facebook's Safety Check system a year ago to let people find and give help such as food, shelter, and transportation after a crisis.

In the areas of immediate danger, Facebook's Safety Check allows people to notify their family and friends that they are safe.

Facebook will make data from Disaster Maps available to the National Disaster Management Authority.

Facebook has created a new centre for crisis response where people can find information about recent crises and access the social network's crisis response tools.

Facebook sees enough reason to make 'Safety Check' a fixture of its site as natural disasters, terrorism and conflict have become frequent.

Facebook and Google activated their safety check features to let users in the vicinity inform their friends that they were safe and get nearby support.

The fundraising tool in "Safety Check" will roll out in the coming weeks in the United States, Facebook said in a blog post.

Facebook will share this information with organisations that have capacity to act on the data and respect privacy standards, starting with UNICEF and the Red Cross.

Facebook has introduced disaster maps to help organisations address critical gap in information they often face while responding to natural disasters.

Facebook launches a new feature called Community Help that looks to acquaint people in need with people who are willing to offer help nearby.

"Safety Check was activated yesterday in Thailand following an explosion," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement to AFP.

The app sends your location to the assigned users to let them know where you are in emergency situations like earthquake or any other natural disasters.
