In emergency situations, the function Safety Check of Facebook can actually be useful. Note that it allows in the event of a crisis to make known to members of your social network that you are safe, or that you know someone that you know is safe. It has already been activated several times by the social network, especially after the attacks of Paris (5.4 million reports) and Brussels. In total, it was activated 39 times in the world since its inception in 2014.
But sometimes, the device has taken a long time to be deployed, or has not been activated when a serious event takes place (as in Beirut). Today, Facebook intends to strengthen Safety Check by allowing users themselves to trigger the device, which was not the case until now. The objective is to gain valuable time. Concretely, it is necessary that a certain number of users report a specific incident via a keyword. At the same time, the social network says that it will provide more information to its users when major crises.
in the Face of congestion, not to mention the saturation of the telecommunication networks during attacks by example, this solution appears more appropriate to report it to his relatives rather than use voice calls : it allows you to reach a large number of people in a single gesture.
