Importance of Social Media during Pandemic and Calamities

Social media is very helpful in every family, social worker, and for our government in discerning information during any calamities and this pandemic. Many Social media apps such ad Facebook allows us to create a custom group page to invite our family members and close friends to use this group in times of any emergency. This will be set as a designated online place where you can inform one another of routes in evacuations and current locations should a disaster strikes. During this pandemic, life becomes harder with the help of social media apps like Messenger and Facebook life becomes easier to communicate and get news from families abroad and any families that we want to communicate with. Through this social media app, Cities and Local officials use social media to create public emergency preparedness page where every resident in the community can join for them to see the news and update of what is happening especially in times of pandemic, Messenger app allows every individual to be able to reach through video call and chat their community officials and asked some help and to be informed of what to do and what to know. Social media apps are very important nowadays because pandemics didn’t allow us to go out so some sellers or resellers use these Social media apps to sell their items. They will do live selling on Facebook and they can also post their items so that many people will see their post and buy items that were a poster. This social media helped everyone a lot because it gives everyone a new way on how they can communicate with each other and this social media allows people to look for some updates and news so that people will be informed of any calamities that will strike.
