Facebook uses location data to show incidents that target you. However, in some cases, such as when traveling, you may be able to flag yourself as safe during an event outside your usual area of residence.
If this is the case, you will see a Facebook message asking if you are in the affected area after clicking the Learn More button about a specific event. Answer Yes so that the Safety Check banner appears.
When people in your location post events related to the event or news outlets report on a catastrophic event, you'll also see a safety verification notification on your Facebook home page.
The Learn More page also has Home and Safety Check tabs at the top. The Home tab provides general information about disasters along with tips on protecting yourself and submitting requests for help, donations, etc.
