Google has been saving up a tonne of creepy private information about you lately, which is unfortunate, but the company’s philanthropic arm just launched a new crisis response project to win back our hearts and personal data: emergency alerts on Google Maps.
The Google Public Alerts system, which launched today, adds local emergency info from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Weather Service, and the US Geological Survey (USGS) to Google Maps search results – with plans to tether to international geological and meteorological services in the near future.
What is sort of neat is that you could search for “Flood Indiana” will show a flood warning currently in effect in Northern Indiana and allowing you to click through to the details. If that sort of thing floats your suddenly-useful boat.
