Facebook has activated its “Safety Check” feature, allowing people to “check-in” and notify their friends that they are safe in a natural disaster.

For Hurricane Matthew, Facebook is activating a safety check for each region impacted by the storm. This way, if people are passing through multiple disaster areas, they can alert friends and family they are safe.

You can view the safety check here:
