00:05 Redact, the Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment Consortium, gave your news some tips.

00:10 An earthquake can trigger the reaction of a lot of people at the same time.

00:17 A big city, for instance, can trigger the reaction of one million people,

00:21 who, if try to call voice call, the network will collapse.

00:27 Nobody will be able to communicate with anyone.

00:30 So, some tips are related, are focused.

00:33 At this point, do not use voice calls at that time to call somebody.

00:38 Use data instead, because data occupy a much smaller bandwidth.

00:44 We need the public that can respond efficiently and stay safe,

00:51 and protect their loved ones, their families, and so on.

00:55 So, that's what the idea was about.

00:58 People don't know where safe locations are.

01:01 So, we have also provided maps, and above more than that, navigation-able maps.

01:09 So, one can click on a specific location and get navigation instructions.

01:15 So, if you care about somebody, share your live location, live geographic location,

01:19 so that he can monitor you, track you, on his cell phone as you move.
