Google's AI flood forecasting model has expanded its reach to 100 countries, now providing early warnings to 700 million people living in high-risk areas. This upgrade enhances the model's capabilities, allowing for flood alerts and information to be accessed through Google Search, Maps, and Flood Hub. The seven-day advance notice enables residents and first responders to prepare effectively for potential flooding.
The expansion marks a significant increase from the previous coverage of 80 countries and 460 million people. Users in flood-prone areas can receive crucial information and recommended actions, such as avoiding certain locations and reporting road closures. Additionally, Google plans to release an API for researchers and first responders, improving future incident predictions using both live and historical data.
