Seems nice , but would be interesting to read more articles on :<p>&gt;&gt;When the tool is activated after a natural disaster<p>1)What all disasters count as natural disaster ?<p>&gt;&gt;and if you’re in the affected area,<p>2)how does FB get data on radius of affected regions all over the world?Or how is affected region measured for each type of disaster<p>&gt;&gt; you’ll receive a Facebook notification asking if you’re safe.<p>3)Priorities in times of disaster and connectivity questions .Lets say connectivity is disrupted and even if the person is safe ,b&#x2F;c he&#x2F;she did not respond to notification would it mark that person as unsafe or unknown ?

So what if you aren&#x27;t safe? There doesn&#x27;t seem to be an option for &quot;nope I&#x27;m in serious trouble here. Help me out.&quot;

I think this is actually a rather good feature, although it does mean that there is more of a need to check facebook when a disaster is occurring... ad infinitum

This is a pretty great idea. I have a lot of friends in Japan and it could be pretty handy in case of a tsunami or taifun.
