Communication in Times of Disaster is Lifesaving – Yes, It’s Time to Be Connected via Smart Bro
What happened in Japan yesterday is devastating. An 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck the northern city of Sendai and the capital city itself, Tokyo. After the strong shake, powerful tsunami followed wiping out whatever comes on its way – people, cars and houses appeared like trashes washed out by floodwaters.
Many Filipinos are in Japan at the moment when the disaster strike. Their families are thousands of miles away. In that critical time, communication is a must and can be lifesaving. Thanks to the advancement in communication technologies available today. Many are given warning early on and was spared from being perished.The relatives and friends of Filipinos Japan on the other hand, were quickly informed of the safety of their loved ones. Thanks to Facebook and Twitter and other social networking websites, the families in the Philippines do not have to spend long hours of agony waiting for news about their loved ones in the area.
Social Networks Can Be a Lifesaving Tool
In times like these, technology really played its role-to make life better. Last year, when Chile was struck by a strong earthquake, communication via phone almost blackened out. The first news about the condition of the people came from Twitter and Facebook. In Japan’s tragedy , Google reacted to help, launching a person finder tool to help people get the news about their friends and relatives in the disaster area.
Although TVs are no doubt helpful in informing people in times of disaster, there are already faster ways to get the news in real time. Facebook news-feed is a good example. And not to mention, the 140-character service Twitter. With these revolutionary communication tools, information flows very fast. In just a click of a mouse, no matter how far distances is, information are reaches the concerned individuals.
Philippine Government Gearing To Be More Equipped
Indeed, communication can determine the strength of a government and spells the real readiness of an organization when disaster like these occurs. Japan is no doubt a leader in this area. Their response to yesterday’s disaster is a model for the Philippines and many other countries in the world. Experts unanimously agree that if it’s not to Japan’s culture of readiness and safety, the damages and death toll could’ve been worst.
Although the Philippines’ disaster preparedness has a lot to improve right now, we can already see some iprovements. Government agencies have already begun tapping Social Networks to disseminate information. The Office of the President for example, uses a Blog, Facebook and Twitter to send news and updates. Yesterday, for example, amid the confusion and shock regarding Japan earthquake and Tsunami, the Official Philippine Government twitter account @govph quickly tweets the hotline number of DFA to help Filipino families in the Philippines get the information about their loved-ones and relatives in the area.
