Facebook's emergency response features now include much more than just Safety Check.
The Dubbedsocial network introduced a new "Crisis Response" hub that helps Facebook users learn about natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and other events affecting people around the world.

(The existing Safety Check section will be updated to "Crisis Response" in the next few weeks.) The new tab provides much more than just the tools and information associated with Facebook's Safety Check feature.

Facebook's Safety Check, Community Help, and fundraising tools will also be part of the Crisis Response section so that users can take action when events affect them (Safety Check) or they want to provide help (Community Help and Facebook's fundraising tools.)
The company says the new tools were inspired in part by how Facebook users responded to Hurricane Harvey and Irma over the last few weeks. Many users took to social media to organize rescue and relief efforts in the wake of the storms.
"Over the past weeks we've seen many disasters and we've seen our community come together to help each other," Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a post on Facebook.
"We think this is important infrastructure for helping to keep our global community safe."
