3 Crisis Response

It’s not all fun and games at Facebook. The platform’s Crisis Response toolset includes features that can actually help out in emergencies and disasters. Of particular note is Safety Check, which lets users mark themselves as “safe” in chaotic times.

But this week, Facebook announced that Crisis Response will be updated with a feature that lets users more easily share first-person accounts about disasters and emergencies. That data can include first-hand reports, pictures and video footage — which should let users more easily track and follow disaster scenarios.
