The term “social media” refers to Internet-based applications that enable people to communicate and share resources and information. The emergence of this new communication channels represents an opportunity to broaden warnings to diverse segments of the population in times of emergency. These technologies have the potential to prevent communication breakdown through reliance on just one platform and thereby to reinforce the diffusion of warning messages but also present policy makers with new challenges.

The use of social media for emergencies and disasters on an organizational level may be conceived of as two broad categories. First, social media can be used somewhat passively to disseminate information and receive user feedback via incoming messages, wall posts, and polls. A second approach involves the systematic use of social media as an emergency management tool. Systematic usage might include using the medium to conduct emergency communications and issue warnings; 2) using social media to receive victim requests for assistance; 3) monitoring user activities and postings to establish situational awareness; and4) using uploaded images to create damage estimates, among others.

As a parent, social workers, and the government this platform would be useful since it is very essential in many ways. Therefore, it would be useful to teach the public how to use social media effectively, how to get information from the Web and also how to put out useful information. Same goes with this saying, “Tweets flow so quickly it’s like a fire hose where you’re trying to extract bits of information that are relevant.”

Moira dela Torre has a deep well to draw from when it comes to writing her songs, Known for her tender singing voice and tunes about heartbreak, including one that took two years to finish, entitled “Tagpuan”.
Some may have found themselves done and over with trying in the love department as the odds of meeting “the one” continues to delay their chances of their own happy ever after. But take it from Moira when we say that true love awaits. Here are the lessons from the lyrics to Moira’s “Tagpuan” that teach us that there’s a single person out there also praying to spend the rest of their lives with us!
Love is never easy. We have to be willing to recognize that love isn’t some sure-fire ecstasy. Falling in love, definitely, can be quite a child’s play, but once you’re in, you’ll discover yourself in difficult terms with compromising and understanding your partner. It can be messy, demanding and crazy – not what you used to fantasize. But love is love even when things become troublesome. Remember that it’s supposed to be there not as a luxury but a life-changing experience that should teach us not to bail on the people we care for.
Being in an emotional state after a heartbreaking experience, you tend to conceal your emotions and try to be brave and stay strong. But the thing is, you need to allow yourself to feel your heartbreak to cope. Don’t worry, the great thing about music is it can help bring out all the hurt you are feeling right now and be the voice you so desperately need.
Not everyone has the same kind of love. Don’t get discouraged and think that you’re doomed to put up with the same failures they made or the ones you made in the past. Love just doesn’t always make sense for everyone every single time. It’s still that inexplicable power that overcomes disappointments and begets joy when the moment is finally right for the two people in love.
