In response to the recent devastating flood and landslides in Nepal, TikTok has launched an in-app feature to ensure users access accurate and timely information.
Leveraging its wide-reaching platform, TikTok will now direct users searching for flood-related keywords both in Nepali and English to the official website of Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA), under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Furthermore, for more information and tips on personal and community safety, users can go through the tragic safety center. Such in-app initiatives ensure that users receive verified updates and guidance directly from reliable sources, enhancing safety during natural disasters.
TikTok is committed to prioritizing the safety of its users, especially during emergencies, by minimizing the spread of misinformation that could lead to confusion or potential danger.
By guiding searches about natural disasters, such as floods, to NDRRMA’s authoritative information, TikTok ensures that users make informed decisions during and after times of crisis, particularly in flood-prone regions of Nepal.
TikTok emphasizes partnering with local authorities as an effective method of navigating critical moments by sharing awareness and life-saving information.
TikTok’s flood intervention serves as an opportunity to demonstrate its value as a tool for the public good while helping the government to effectively communicate disaster risks and preparedness strategies.
The platform is committed to strengthening disaster risk reduction efforts, particularly for marginalized communities in remote areas, which are often the most vulnerable during natural calamities.
By fostering collaboration with government authorities and connecting users to the information they need, TikTok reaffirms its commitment to being more than just an entertainment app—it’s a platform dedicated to keeping people informed, safe, and empowered.
