Question

Role of mass media before and after natural disaster

Answer 1

After disaster strikes, social media is used to help others find their loved ones, pets and even track down their personal belongings. It alerts the public about donation efforts and relief funds too — as many will be in need of basic items such as clothing, non-perishable goods, and a safe place to stay.

Businesses can use their company’s social media pages to inform their clients, customers, and suppliers of their standing. They can also use their web presence to update the public as to their plans and timeline to rebuild, relocate, and reopen.
