Enfoque en la pregunta 4: Choose the most suitable answer (a, b, c or d) according to the text.
Facebook has launched a new feature to
help people find basics such as food, water and shelter when natural disasters
strike. The addition, called Community Help, connects people near natural and
accidental crises so that they can ask for help or offer support to victims.
Users that are in an area affected by a disaster will have access to the new section,
which lets them connect with people nearby for help including access to
transport and supplies. "Hopefully there are far fewer crisis in 2017 than
there have been in the past," said Preethi Chethan, product designer at
Facebook. "But if something does happen, we hope this product can help
make a difference in people’s lives.
Community Help, only available to people over 18 and in the affected region
comes as an update to the Safety Check button, which was added to the social
network back in 2014 to let users tell their friends they're safe when
disasters occur. When Facebook receives an alert that an incident has happened
it checks local users' posts and, if it sees a spike in activity, activates
Safety Check.
Initially only available for natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis
and fires, the company first activated it for human disasters during the Paris
attacks in 2015. The feature is available in six countries to begin with,
including the US, India and Saudi Arabia, with a plan to expand to all
countries after a few weeks of testing.
"After the flooding in Chennai, India, we heard story after story of
people opening their homes to their neighbours, cooking and travelling miles,
sometimes through chest deep water, to deliver food to badly affected
neighbourhoods," said Chethan.
Facebook designed Community Help in response to try and make it easier for
people to assist one another in the event of such disasters. Once turned on in
an area, it remains active for 60 days. The feature raises security fears as it
connects people that aren't friends on Facebook. But the company said it has
added a series of checks users can follow, as well as prominently displaying
any mutual friends you have. It will also moderate any posts reported as
suspicious. Facebook said. "If an account is extremely new or we think
you're a bot then you're not going to have access to this."
