    Good grief guys people aren’t reaching out for help on Facebook as their first choice they’re doing it rather than calling the numbers you keep giving out because either their landline is dead or nonexistent and the cell phone towers are out. Sometimes Internet service will stay up even when the phone lines are down.

    I dont think these people understand that Facebook was the only way to call for help. Some people had spotty wifi only. No power or cell service to call. But they could reach social media.
    North Carolina s weather advisory facebook pace has been a literal life saver for people, and he was one of the first voices getting word out hiw bad it was. Because in eastern NC or anywhere else in the nation, we had no clue how bad it was because no communication out of the mountains.

      That would be an excellent volunteer job for a volunteer team - to monitor their facebook 24/7 for incoming SOS and them make the direct phone call to the proper number on behalf of those posting and act as a liasson between the stranded (who only have net access) and officials and rescuers. I'm located in Asia or I'd volunteer. Ideally, people who know the area (roads, geography, and landmarks) should do that.
