#PorteOuverte: Parisians advertise ‘open doors’ for those stranded by terror attacks
With emergency response to the terror attacks in Paris shutting down public transportation, Parisians are taking stranded people into their homes and advertising safe havens on social media using the hashtag #PorteOuverte (‘open door’).
Tweet safe places, not your thoughts on the matter. A shelter will help, prayers later. #PorteOuvertepic.twitter.com/ZQFY9FxPyY

#PorteOuverte TAXIS ARE TAKING PEOPLE TO THEIR HOMES FOR FREE, IF YOU'RE STUCK OUTSIDE AND CANT FIND SHELTER OR MONEY LOOK FOR A TAXI

— TK Westfield (@TWestfield) November 13, 2015There have also been reports that Parisian taxi drivers have turned off their meters, and are taking people home for free.
My heart is heavy tonight. Oh, Paris. The news is so, so awful. Stay safe out there guys. Use #PorteOuverte, but use it carefully.
