Not enough have been done to help the victims of previous deadly earthquake. There are still people sitting on the streets who have lost their homes. The 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit the country on Sunday. Erhan Çelik, a journalist for Turkey's Kanal 7 TV station, suggested that there will be a lot of those willing to help if he send a twit to his 22,000 twitter followers. He offered to send an email to those who want to provide an accommodation to the victims. In seven hours he twitted that there is 17,000 emails in his mailbox. Soon after that he twitted that the hot line would be opened to take offers of accommodation by the Istanbul authorities. Hot line was working for 24 hours. The offers were coming to twitter also. Erhan Çelik also offered to three operators to provide their subscribers with free text messages and minutes so they could reach loved ones. Facebook also played role in all this by giving instructions where aid is needed.
That is how social networks works in emergencies. Erhan Çelik has shoved it.
