Abstract
A social networking system distributes information related to emergency events. The social networking system provides an interface for users to view information about the users' connections related to the emergency event. The interface allows users to filter the users' connections to search for connections affected by the emergency event. The interface also includes a status indicator for the users and provides a method for providing input to the connections' status.
