Indonesia is regularly hit by natural disasters. Tell very quickly and efficiently the local population in the event of an earthquake, flood, tsunami threat, etc. is of utmost importance to save as many lives as possible for this country. It is this requirement that led the Indonesian authorities to turn to Twitter.


A large-scale information system via Twitter to alert in case of threat

The Indonesian government has turned to Twitter to set up a warning system, he wants effective. It is true that Indonesian are very fond of social networks, including Facebook, but Twitter. A warning system on Twitter seems to be an innovative and relevant solution to prevent as many people as possible in real time.

The Indonesian Minister of Technology wants to set up on Twitter to offer a state of the progress of threats service to alert in case of imminent danger and probably also to better coordinate disaster relief. It would be a good opportunity for Twitter to strengthen its presence in this country of 250 million people. Interest if not ultimately devoid of commercial concept from the bluebird.

A necessity for Indonesia to prevent its inhabitants in case of danger

The decision of the Indonesian government is understandable to the views of the characteristics of the country. Indonesia is an archipelago of islands, some small and sometimes isolated. Some areas are very dense and inaccessible forests. Indonesia is also at the heart of a very active tectonic zone, where more than 150 volcanoes are active. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods are common.

It is particularly remembered particularly deadly episodes like during the devastating tsunami of 2004 or during the earthquake of Yogarta in 2006. In both cases, a large number of people could have been saved with an effective warning system in real time better coordination of aid could have been put in place.
