Social Networking for a hazardous world......Lets, let that sentence sink in for a moment. It does sound paranoid, doesn't it? It does sound like fear mongering, doesn't it? I can assure you, that it is not some made up term designed to feed into your fear and paranoia so that I can sell you something. Instead, It is based on a need. A basic human need. The need to survive. The need to rescue and be rescued.
Today's population increasingly uses one of the Social Networking platforms to improve their social lives or to spread a message. Also, people seem to try and use these platforms when in a dangerous situation or a disaster situation. These social networking platforms are meant for enhancing relationships be it casual or business. They are not meant to be used in a serious life threatening situation. They are not designed to save lives or help out a community in an emergency. They are designed to increase the outrage in a population after an event occurs. They are not designed to pass timely, meaningful and actionable information that can save lives.
Hazard Networking has been born out of the realization that today's social networking platforms are not designed to handle neither communication or networking in a life threatening situation.
Hazard Networking informs people of the hazards in their environment so that they can take meaningful actions to mitigate the danger due to the hazard.
Hazard Networking helps the First Responders, doctors and government agencies to help them identify an ongoing situation, analyze the affected population and to mobilize the necessary resources to save lives.
Hazard Networking provides effective communication between Emergency Managers, Relief organizations, Doctors, First Responders, Affected Population and the Concerned Population.
