Facebook Helps Indians To Keep Track Of Cyclone Fani And Protect Themselves From It

After Cyclone Fani hit Puri, Odisha two days ago, Facebook users have rapidly taken necessary actions to help the victims in the eye of the storm as well as their relatives and friends to keep track of Cyclone Fani.

Created on Facebook, the Crisis Response page allows its members to detect if their current location is in dangerous areas of Cyclone Fani or not. Besides, they can inform others of their situation by marking themselves safe. However, if you don’t stay in the center of the storm, you shouldn’t abuse this page. To update and control the accuracy of the news, the page gives its members a collation between various news stories.

In addition, when you type Cyclone Fani on the search bar, a box will be displayed and offer you two choices: providing or requesting aid including pet food, medical supplies, or emergency transportation.

Person Finder of Google is another effective tool that enables users to keep track of the ones who have been missing in the cyclone storm. However, it’s a pity that the tech giant hasn’t made any page relating to this storm.

In the case you aren’t in the dangerous areas, you should do something to help the poor victims or at least shouldn’t share or create fake news and videos to earn digital likes.

Whenever reading any news on the Cyclone Fani, you should check its exactness before reposting or sharing on any social media from Facebook, WhatsApp to Twitter. Spreading fake news, in this case, can cause unnecessary soreness for those in Odisha, as well as hinder rescue and evacuation operations.

A little reminder for those who are victims of the storm in Odisha, you shouldn’t believe every rumor on social media platforms, the Internet as well as on TVs. Checking the preciseness of the news from many various sources is compulsory.
