Severe Weather Response
As severe weather events grow more frequent, Google's technology and resources
help communities stay safe and informed
PREPARED
High-accuracy AI cyclone prediction
In a world of increasingly extreme weather, fast and accurate forecasts are
crucial. Our new experimental tropical cyclone AI model, accessible in Weather
Lab, analyzes 50 possible storm scenarios up to 15 days ahead, which can help
agencies and emergency service experts better predict a cyclone’s path and
intensity.
SAFE
Early storm forecasts and alerts
People continue to turn to Google Search and Maps in times of crises, and our
state-of-the-art models offer earlier warnings of extreme weather events,
including a crisis notification card on Google Maps that automatically appears
for those near the impacted area, directing to a hurricane forecast of the
storm’s trajectory along with information about what time it’s likely to hit
certain areas.
RESILIENT
Support for local disaster relief efforts
Google.org provides timely and targeted funding to local nonprofits on the
front lines of both relief and recovery efforts through the Center for
Disaster Philanthropy. After Hurricane Helene, community organization ToolBank
USA received a portion of the recovery fund to support their long-term housing
efforts.
