As I write this blog #CycloneFani is growing on the easter coast of India. I hope from the bottom of my heart that our coastal regions remain safe.
Though being prepared for the crisis is one of the best ways to avoid it.
#Twitter is an amazing platform which has served many disaster victims in the past, as it works even when the Internet fails ! Yes it does, just a few steps need to activate it. It is a good tool to ask for help, inform on the ground situation, send/receive supplies.
I would especially recommend this for friends working in disaster prone zones.
Step 1. Go to your Twitter Account Settings
Step 2. Click on "Mobile" ("Left Side Section")
Step 3. Add/Update your Mobile Number
Step 4. For India all you have to do is send a text to this number - 9248948837
For Other countries List of Twitter Help Number
I hope you never have to use this service, and you always get Hi-Speed Internet.
Send us your blog & we will spread the message through our Website & Social Media Platforms.
