With a powerful earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter Scale rocking India’s northeastern region early Monday, Facebook has activated its safety check tool to help people in the area let their friends and family know that they are safe.
The quake occurred at 4.35 a.m. and had its epicentre in Manipur’s Tamenglong district. Initial reports indicate that one young girl was killed and 30 were injured.
“A major earthquake just struck northeastern India and we’ve activated Safety Check to help people in the area let friends and family know they’re safe,” Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wrote.
Tremors were also felt in Bangladesh, Myanmar and Nepal. If anyone appear to be nearby, Facebook will send you a notification to access Safety Check so you can share that you are safe and see that people you care about are safe as well.
