社交媒體幫助尋找地震倖存者

In addition to Google’s Person Finder tool, Facebook and the Red Cross are offering services for friends and family members to connect with each other in Nepal and for survivors to let others know they are safe.

除了谷歌的找人應用，Facebook和紅十字會也開發了在線服務，幫助人們尋找地震中倖存的親人和朋友。

Last year Facebook launched its Safety Check feature, which allows users of the social networking service to tell friends they’re safe after disasters and to check on others. The service has been activated for the Nepal earthquake, Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Facebook, announced Saturday.

去年，Facebook推出了“安全檢查”社交應用，用戶可以通過它在災難之後向朋友報平安，也可以及時瞭解對方的情況。Facebook首席執行官馬克·扎克伯格週六宣佈，該應用已經爲尼泊爾地震啓動。

The Nepal Red Cross and the International Committee of the Red Cross are also operating an online service that allows users to search for missing family members and report missing people.

尼泊爾紅十字會和國際紅十字委員會也在運行一款在線服務，用戶可以借它尋找失蹤的親人，或者報告有人失蹤。
