Facebook Activates “Safety Check” To Help Users Track Paris Survivors

Amidst the terrifying attacks in Paris Friday, Facebook has activated its “Safety Check” feature so people worried about loved ones can learn about their safety.

Facebook launched the tool last year to service people in disaster areas by letting connecting them with family and friends in affected areas.

To use the tool to mark whether you are safe, or to check on friends in Paris, visit its Paris Terror Attacks page. Users will also get notifications when new friends mark themselves as safe. h/t BI
