Powerful tools that improve people's lives
Crisis Response
Timely, direct support.
Crisis Response enables nonprofits and businesses to offer information about critical services to the most relevant people during and after a crisis.
Safety Check & Crisis Pages
Reach and offer support to the most relevant people affected by crisis.
- Safety Check
When people affected by a crisis post to Facebook about an incident, Safety Check may be activated. Safety Check prompts people in the crisis area to mark themselves as safe, then sends them to the dedicated Crisis Page where they can ask for, or offer, help.
- Crisis Response Pages
When Safety Check has been activated, a dedicated Facebook Crisis Page that contains information about the active crisis is created to help bring people together, who are located in the affected areas. People, nonprofits and businesses can post to a specific Crisis Page to find and offer help following a crisis.
