✩°｡⋆⸜How Does Social Media Helps During Calamities? ✩°｡⋆⸜

HOW SOCIAL MEDIA HAS HELPED  FAMILIES, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND THE GOVERNMENT IN DISCERNING INFORMATION DURING CALAMITIES?

 • Social Media helps families check the safety and status of their distant family members who are affected by certain calamities through video calls, chats, posts, and other social media features that can communicate messages or keep them updated. 

 • Social media help families track the location of family members during calamity due to the location features it offers. 

 • Social media has helped inform families in surviving certain calamities through the effective use of spreading and sharing infographics, particularly the do's and don'ts. 

 • Social media can be a good source of news information that can help families predict upcoming calamities that will affect their area, which can result in a good preparation, planned evacuation, or any execution necessary to their survival.

In terms of government, social media is quite beneficial. According to an article of Natural Hazard Center (2014) The use of social media has become a prevalent activity among a vast population of people all over the world, with a considerable potential for serving various functions before, during, and after natural catastrophes. This isn't new in the Philippines; as we've seen in recent years, we've been using social media to raise awareness of impending typhoons and calamities.

LGUs (Local Government Units) and other agencies utilize their social media accounts to create/post public emergency awareness prior to the calamity; providing information on when and where a disaster might occur or damage. With this up-to-the-minute news and updates, citizens in the vicinity have had the chance to evacuate or retrieve to a safest location.  Other government entities, like the PCDSPO-OPS (Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office and the Office of the Presidential Spokesperson), have employed and advocated the usage of unified hashtags to observe, monitor, and organize information. They are responsible for the common hashtags we use today, such as #walangpasok, #YolandaPH, and #floodPH. One of the most prominent hashtags they employed was #RescuePH. This hashtag has been used when someone needs to be rescued or knows someone who needs to be rescued. Users only need tweet their full name, address, and contact information with this hastag. Many Filipinos are now using this as it allows the government to track and coordinate help to those stranded in the disaster. In the midst of the calamity, #reliefPH and other hashtags were used on social media to request relief supplies. Government agencies can use this to identify survivors and assist those who have been affected. They can also utilize social media to solicit assistance or donations from other individuals and organizations.

Social Media being a worldwide platform nowadays , helped social workers in many ways. They are using different social media platforms to promote themselves. The field of social work, with its emphasis on providing support to those in need, has also learned to navigate the world of social media, leveraging its best aspects to connect members of the social work community.

Social media is one of the fastest modes of communication.You can share information with someone the moment you come across it yourself, and you can do it whenever and wherever you have access to the internet. And unlike a phone call, you can reach many people at the same time. Second, social media platforms are built to accommodate how widely information can spread. For the most part, social media platforms are designed to encourage user activity by promoting loose networks and weak ties that serve as conduits for new content and new connections, leaving users hungry for more. Last but not least, social media platforms facilitate communication. Marketers, influencers, and special interest groups can research and target the most influential nodes in the network in real time and at a minimal cost using these platforms. As a result, the dissemination of information via social media is far more efficient than broadcast television or print media.

In the early days , when there was no internet connection , the only way news circulate was by “word of mouth”. They gather news from one place, and from that they would gather in one place and share the information. In other cases , they would use a pigeon or a horse to send a message. In other circumstances, they might send a message via pigeon or horse. During the Dynasty era, they would send a messenger to the target location where they wanted the message to be delivered and simply hand them the letter, which they would then return and give to their emperor. Despite its effectiveness, this method cannot reach a vast number of people. It is for this reason that newspapers were created. The first newspaper was published in England in 1665. The second occurred in 1705 in Britain, after which the newspaper began to spread throughout the world. Newspapers are becoming the primary source of information about global events.

#CagayanPHNeedsHelp

This is what's currently happening in Cagayan Valley, Philippines right now. This is caused by the previous typhoon Ulysses. The whole place is submerged in water. People are screaming for help, drowning, and some already died due to electrocution. And we need your help to spread awareness because there's only little to no media coverage at all.

If you can donate, here's a link to different donation drives and relief ops for Cagayan.

Hello. Philippines has suffered through another storm, after going through the world's strongest typhoon just days ago, and left not only destroyed livelihood and properties but has also ended numerous lives. This happening in the middle of a fucking pandemic.

#CagayanNeedsHelp is currently trending in twt to help spread news to the national government, rescuers, and to those whose families are in the region that might be affected. Electric and communication lines are down and rescue is on going but slow. They have dispatched rescue teams across the region but it isn't enough. The flood has submerged an entire city about 15 meters deep. People have resorted to wait for help on their roofs. There are children, senior citizens, PWDs, and those who suffers from sickness, stuck for 3 days now with no food and water, hoping to be rescued.

People have retweeted and shared video clips, pictures, and even audio clips of people shouting for help in the dark. There are those who died drowning and getting electrocuted. Having no food and water is making it worse. Seeing these in the safety of my home makes me feel guilty of not being able to do anything. Hearing them cry for help and I could only do so much as help spread news and pray for them. We've raised donation drives for now but we still need to rescue a region.

I ask of you to help us spread awareness of what is currently happening in the Philippines.

Local hotlines we can spread to help reach rescuers:

UPDATED

Donation drives:

📣The OVP has launced Kaya Natin PH donation drive for the affected cities by the typhoons.

Right now, this is the only donation drive from the govt I would trust.

📣ABS CBN FOUNDATION

📣RED CROSS PHILIPPINES

📣PHILIPPINE ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY (PAWS)

📣University of Sto. Tomas has launched #TulongTomasino for in-kind donations.

📣University of the Philippines Los Banos #UPLBAgapay

📣For a more organized list of emergency hotlines and donation drives from NGOs and student organizations, here is the RescuePH carrd for your reference.

❗Let us also be vigilant with the recipients of our donations. I heard news of scammers trying to disguise as donation drives to be able to steal money. ❗

Filipinos have supported many movements such as the “Eat the rich” campagne, BLM movement, LGBTQA+ movement and many more. Now all we ask of you is to try and spread the word that we need help too. All we ask is you stop cooping up in your houses and donate or at least sign petitions and share the word that WE EXIST AND WE NEED HELP.

Here is a link that will educate you on what you can do

Send help.

Hello there.

I apologize if this post is not my regular content, but I would just like to have a few moments of your time.

You may have heard the news about typhoons making landfall across the Philippines - causing untold destruction that has lead to loss of livelihood, property, and life in recent times. As we speak, there are still plenty of people braving the floods and sleeping on the roofs of their homes, waiting to be rescued. These people, especially in the far-flung provinces such as Cagayan, were caught off-guard due to information blackout that was only exacerbated by the shutting down of a major broadcasting company. All of these are happening in the middle of a pandemic that we are still struggling to shake off.

For the time being, I am currently holding a donation drive. I will be selling prints of my artworks, starting with my most recent art book. All proceeds from sales will be donated to Kaya Natin! Movement, a non-profit organization currently making efforts in post-disaster relief in light of the recent catastrophic events. The donations will be used to fund relief efforts in order to help the victims of these typhoons.

The book is currently available on Blurb, which is recommended for those who are based internationally. But if you live in the Philippines or would like a signed copy, then the Limited Edition is for you. It is currently sold out, but you can pre-order for the next batch of printing.

Or if you would like to donate without ordering my book, you can do so by donating to Kaya Natin! Movement through the link below.

Thank you very much.

I can't help but to think about how devastated my fellow Filipinos as of the moment--especially those who are severely affected by the typhoon ulysses. I can't do anything but to pray for them. For the family, for the souls that are taken away and for the whole place itself. I can't stand this events and circumstances happening to us now, but amidst all of this, hope we may find strength, peace, and hope. To our foreign friends out there, we ask and seek for your help and prayers.

TW // DEATH, DROWNING

The Philippines suffers because of the wrath of Typhoon Ulysses.

Corpses are floating, rescuers cannot pass. People are SCARED AND DEMANDS THE ACTIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT.

VICE PRESIDENT LENI ROBREDO HAS BEEN DOING ACTIONS NON-STOP AND PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE ANNOUNCES HE CANNOT SWIM IN THE FLOOD TO “HELP” THE PEOPLE IN NEED.

The vice president didn't need to swim in order to help the people. SHE MOVED. SHE MADE A PLAN AND EXECUTED IT.

WE NEED BETTER DISASTER MANAGEMENT.

If this doesn't make you want to #OustDuterte, I don't know what will. He's letting his people die!

BANGON, LAMBAK! 

Youth Advocates for the Philippines Region IV-B is conducting a donation drive for residents in Cagayan Valley and Aurora who have been severely devastated by Typhoon Ulysses. 

Last November 13 after the onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses, seven gates of Magat Dam were opened, causing severe floods to surrounding areas in Cagayan Valley. The entire Cagayan Valley region is now under State of Calamity as the level of damage to infrastructure and displacement of residents are on a record high. Rest assured that your monetary donations will proceed to the target beneficiaries as we have coordinated with Youth Advocates for the Philippines - Cagayan Valley. Youth Advocates for the Philippines is a youth-led, non-profit, and volunteer organization that has been accredited by the National Youth Commission, the United Nations Major Group of Children and Youth, and UNMGCY-UNEP. 

Please reblog this, everyone!  THE BAYANIHAN SPIRIT REMAINS NOW MORE THAN EVER.

the philippines needs your help.

[NOT HP RELATED]

as some of you may already know, i am from the philippines. 

being a tropical country that’s right next to the pacific ocean, typhoons are always bound to hit my homeland. 

however, last november 1, typhoon rolly (goni) which is a super typhoon, has devastated the southern part of the biggest island of my country, luzon. (mainly the province of bicol)

and last november 11, typhoon ulysses (vamco) has struck the northern part of the island.

now, magat dam (near cagayan) had been releasing water due to risk of it overflowing, with this, the provinces of cagayan and isabela are submerged and some barrios (like linao and tugegarao in cagayan) are no longer visible because of the flood. 

my countrymen need as much help as they can, if you can’t donate, just please reblog. it’ll help so much, i swear. attached below are pictures of information and the current state of the province of cagayan. 

click this link right here and here to be redirected to carrds that has petitions and ways on how to donate.
