Facebook helps people in Natural Disasters

Human welfare is the ultimate goal of information technology. Using the information in such a way is really a great job! Facebook is on the way.

Recently Indians suffered from the flood occurred in North-east India. Brahmaputra's over flow caused damage to lakhs of people in four states. Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Manipur suffered from it. Even though there are organizations that can help them. There are no proper ways to fulfill their very needs like food, shelter, and hospitality. 

Nobody is there to guide them when they are running away from flood water with fear. Nobody can show them right place to stay and take rest. Looking all these scenarios the major social media platform Facebook trying to solve the problem with the help of information technology.

What it can do?

Put it in a simple way, We all know how Facebook works. If we go bit deeper about the location settings. If we switch location setting on, then facebook will get location data in regular frequent times. It not only gives the user current location, we can also trace the user movement with this.

Using the flood experts and weather experts we can locate the safe place in the flood area and can send notifications about the safe location to its users at the flood region.

It can also create the platform between users and some donor organizations for help.

Facebook can track the people movement using the location data. It is more important to notify those who are moving to the danger zones.

Challenges ahead

Internet connection in the flood areas is very tough. Due to soil erosion, the ground becomes weak and towers may fall. Since water connects electricity there are a lot of situations to cut off powers in the regions. We have to look forward how Facebook deals with it.
