A Good SMS Aftermath

The devastating earthquake which recently hit China caught both locals and visitors off guard, resulting to high statistics of casualties and destroyed properties. It was said to be the worst earthquake disaster that beat the country in three decades.

Besides radio and television, SMS and blogs played significant roles after this terrible tragedy. These non-traditional communication channels, particularly SMS, became the immediate source of news for local residents. It helped citizens look for missing relatives, as well as for government officials to monitor the condition of its territory. Furthermore, SMS became an instrument for pleas and donations for people in need as well as for those who are willing to help. Despite the depressing condition, local Chinese officials warned citizens about the bogus SMS circulating within the country asking for contributions.

About 3 years ago, SMS also became an instrument for Americans to generate funds for victims of hurricane Katrina. US- based carriers unite and encouraged subscribers to give donations from $1.99 to as much as $5.

Despite the trauma caused by these catastrophic incidents, it proves how effective SMS or text messaging as avenue of sending important and urgent information, as well as support and donations.
