China's Internet participation in earthquake relief work

Another huge disaster, and in the face of the scourge of natural disasters you are indifferent to, or to participate in disaster relief? Last year, the United States suffered a hurricane, Time magazine used Instagram full report, Google specifically produced a hurricane map, Airbnb and the New York government cooperation for hurricane victims to provide free housing ...... The internet's ability to deal with disasters is recognized by the whole society. In a few days ago, the Boston bombing of the United States, Google restarted the Person Finder page, to facilitate people to learn about missing and casualty information, but also convenient for individuals to provide relatives missing and casualties. The Yaan earthquake, China's internet is not backward, in the first time to make a response, the full participation in the earthquake relief work.

Because of the interruption of communication caused by the earthquake, it is difficult to get contact with the disaster area by telephone short message, this time the social network highlights its powerful power. Microblogging is almost the site and the outside exchange of information channels, whether ordinary individuals, media, business or social public knowledge, almost all the first time on the microblog to pass messages.

The first is about the interruption of network communications, the first three operators in micro-blog to inform the earthquake-stricken areas of communication.

@ China Unicom: "At present, Sichuan Unicom Core network is normal, normal Yaan core network, the province long-distance network congestion is large, load is declining." Baoxing, Shan Base station basic interruption. After statistics, the disaster occurred, Yaan dropped 93, Lushan, Baoxing two counties interrupted base station 45, leading to Aba, Yaan three cable ring interruption, basic network, data network basically smooth, Lushan, Baoxing two counties employees no casualties report. Details are being further verified. ”

@ China Mobile: "Disaster protection and communications" this morning Yaan earthquake, Yaan part of the communication is blocked, 139 base stations affected by the impact of the earthquake interrupted, of which Baoxing 84, China Mobile Emergency deployment, has dispatched 200 people to rescue teams, the first batch of 40 Emergency repair vehicles, redeployed satellite telephone 20, optical cable 100 Kilometer, oil machine 128 units, emergency communications vehicles and other emergency communications materials, and tents, drinking water and other relief supplies to the earthquake area emergency.

@ China Telecom: #雅安地震 # Sichuan Yaan County occurred in the 7-magnitude earthquake, causing Yaan Baoxing, Lushan two counties communication block, Sichuan Province mobile phone congestion, China Telecom Sichuan Company took the province of mobile traffic restrictions to divert the flow of traffic, the province's mobile phone access rate has been significantly eased.

Then @ know also in the first time in the community about the earthquake knowledge on the micro-blog, especially on the earthquake during how to call the mobile phone posts, in micro-blog has been extremely widespread dissemination.

Sina Weibo to take the measure is to use the usual used to push advertising "fan Tong", "Micro Bo Secretary" and other official micro-blog, "Micro-blog topic" and micro-blog Banner advertising, and so on all used to push the earthquake-related information. Opened the # Yaan 7 earthquake #, #雅安地震寻亲 #, #雅安报平安 #, #雅安求助 # and many other topics. As of now, the topic of #四川雅安地震 # has Liuchidovan discussed.

Micro-Bo star large number of forwarding all kinds of news about earthquakes, as a major force in the spread of earthquake news, which @ Shire the first to launch public donations on Weibo. "196000 people donated 145000 yuan," Shire said. It's only four hours. Weibo to power! "

In the process of using microblogs to transmit positive energy, two of girls quickly became popular. One is known as the "Most beautiful Bride in history," The @cying12, today is her wedding, the sudden earthquake forced the wedding interrupted, directly in the wedding dress in the scene to do the report, by netizens as "the most beautiful bride in history, the most beautiful reporter."

The other is an earthquake injured little girl, told the scene of the relief workers, "uncle, I'm fine I don't cry, I am very strong." "is also known as" the most lovely girl in history ", for the community to pass the positive energy.

Of course, not all micro-blogs have been positive transmission, @ Cross, although the first micro-Bo said, "After the Yaan earthquake, will immediately contact the Red Cross of Sichuan province to understand the disaster." Sichuan Province, Yaan Red Cross has dispatched a working group to Yaan, the provincial Red Cross rescue team has assembled, ready to start. The Working Group is heading to the airport to visit the disaster area. But the comments of netizens are overwhelmingly on the other side.

Not only is the message passed, Chinese Internet companies have made donations in the first time. According to incomplete statistics, the Internet enterprises making donations and donation statements:

Tencent announced an emergency to Sichuan Yaan earthquake first donation of 5 million yuan; Baidu announced to the earthquake-stricken area of Yaan the first batch of donations 5 million yuan; Alibaba announced to Yaan earthquake donated 5 million yuan; NetEase Charitable Fund announced 5 million support Yaan earthquake disaster area, Jinshan software emergency donation 1 million yuan to support Yaan disaster area; Alipay Online Yaan earthquake donation platform; The first donation of millet Company 1 million; Qihoo 360 announced a donation of 3.6 million yuan to the Yaan earthquake; the Beijing East Group decided to provide the Sichuan Yaan earthquake-stricken area with the first batch of donations, including materials, a total of 2 million yuan; Le video network donated 1 million yuan to the Yaan earthquake; UC Excellent depending on the company decided to donate 1 million yuan for the Yaan disaster area, where the first batch of relief materials from the Chengdu Warehouse departure ...

The list continues to be updated ...

Sina's new cto@ Xu Liangje Jack Weibo said, "The Bo traffic doubled, micro-BO platform has been expanding in this time to ensure that micro-Bo transmission channels unimpeded." ”

In addition to micro-blogging, due to the interruption of communications, micro-letter has become a disaster area and the outside world, one of the important channels. However, due to the congestion and disruption of the telecommunications network, many experts recommend avoiding the use of data networks, as far as possible through the use of Wifi micro-letters (36 Krypton is not aware of this, see note). In addition to contact with the disaster area, all kinds of micro-letter public accounts are also in the first time to push the earthquake news.

As the search engine of the internet entrance, it also reacts in the first time, adding the special channel of seismic information transmission. This is especially the most active 360 search, in addition to increasing the special channel of seismic information, but also added "Sina micro-Burson earthquake theme" and "360 News Yaan Earthquake", and said that the earthquake-stricken areas, the safety of the function is under development.

@ Zhou on Weibo said, "360 will use their resources and advantages to help the people in the disaster areas to tide over the difficulties." Of course, also do not forget incidentally "humorous" Baidu.

Google also launched the first time specifically for the earthquake's Person Finder page, "Online Search: Sichuan earthquake."

"Update" 360 search has been officially online "Sichuan Yaan earthquake tracing help platform", using the form of information flow constantly updated tracing information, and Google person Finder page a bit similar. 360 searches indicate that the information entered will be open to the public and can be viewed or used by anyone. 360 searches do not verify the accuracy of the information individually.

Then Sohu also on-line "Sichuan Yaan earthquake tracing platform".

In addition to the tracing activities initiated in the post bar, Baidu then launched a special "Yaan earthquake" theme page, including tracing platform, real-time earthquake broadcast, as well as on Weibo launched the "Baidu Map Practical help Guide", all kinds of escape self-help strategy, the common sense of the prevention of earthquakes, small earthquake encyclopedia and Yaan quake zone real-time news.

In the evening a Amoy also on-line "one Amoy find someone" online search platform, joined to the Internet Earthquake Relief team.

Throughout the disaster relief process, the most influential internet action is the @ One Foundation charity fund-raising, up to now has raised the public welfare Fund more than 20 million. One fund through the Internet to solicit donations, and "Sina Micro Public Welfare platform", "Tencent Music donation platform", "pay treasure e Platform" and "cat official public Welfare shop" to cooperate, shunt and expand the donation platform.

In the era of mobile internet, in addition to micro-blog, micro-letter, MO, such as social products, maps, weather, input methods and other tools, such as products and games, there seems to be no better than the seismic applications, and even the entire mobile internet is very few people to care about these aspects. When the disaster hit, it was found that the original earthquake-type APP is also a need.

However, there are very few seismic applications, 36 Krypton has reported a "seismic speed", a push and bureau cooperative development of the application. "Seismic speed" application can be in the earthquake (usually first detected by the faster longitudinal wave (P wave)) timely to inform the residents of earthquake information, in the destructive Wave (S wave) before the arrival of the user for at least a few seconds of time to prepare.

"Seismic report" will also be based on the location of the user information, timely notification of earthquake news to users. In accordance with the initial settings, in the epicenter distance of the user within 2000 kilometers of the same conditions, when the magnitude is greater than 3 levels less than 4.5, the application will give the user a vibration notification bar prompts. If the magnitude is greater than or equal to level 4.5 is less than 6, there will be a vibration and ringing notice bar hint. If it is 6 or more earthquakes (you may really need more than a few seconds of life time), the user's mobile phone will have an earthquake details page display, and there are continuous ring and vibration prompts.

In addition to the "Seismic Speed Report", foreign seismic applications are ifeltthat, Earthquake Alarm and earthquake. Through Ifeltthat, users can obtain real-time seismic information from official sources all over the world, and can set up specific monitoring areas to focus on monitoring seismic information in the region. Another unique feature of this application is the ability to use your phone address book to tell you if an earthquake has occurred near your own contacts.

Earthquake alarm can use the IPhone's built-in accelerometer to identify subtle angle changes. In the event of a jolt, the application will sound an alarm. However, in order to prevent the application of excessive sensitivity, you can choose the normal mode or highly sensitive mode, normal mode of the general vibration does not trigger the alarm sound. Earthquake uses the amplitude of the phone's vibration to identify the magnitude of the quake. In addition, the application can display seismic information over the past 24 hours, including the use of interactive maps to show casualties and affected areas. If you have any good earthquake application recommendations, please comment.
