Google: to ensure the safety of flood forecasting by enabling AI

Source: ATYUN AI platform 

20 years, Google Search provides people with the information they need in times of crisis, obtaining timely and actionable information is often crucial. Last year, we issued a SOS alert on search and maps, making it easier to get emergency information. Since then, we started the SOS alert in more than 200 kinds of crisis situations, in addition, there are tens of thousands of Google public alarm, alarm views of more than 1.5 billion times.

Floods are devastating natural disasters around the world - it is estimated that 250 million people worldwide each year affected by the floods, while billions of dollars in losses. Flood Forecasting can help individuals and authorities to better prepare for the protection of people's safety. However, there is no accurate forecasting of floods in many areas. Existing warning system may not be accurate, available, which leads to too many people have not enough information ready before the flood.

In order to increase awareness of the upcoming flood, we use artificial intelligence and computing power to create a better predictive models to predict flooding will occur when and where, and integrate this information into the Google public alert . Various elements - from historical events to the river water level readings, and then to a specific area of ​​terrain and altitude - can enter our model. Then, we generate maps and hundreds of thousands of simulations run at each location. With this information, we have created a river flood forecasting model, not only can more accurately predict when and where flooding occurs, can also predict the severity of floods.

The image above depicts a river flood simulation in Hyderabad, India (Hyderabad) is. Discloses data using the left and the right side data using Google and techniques. Our model has a higher resolution, accuracy and up to date information.

In India we started the flood forecasting work (20% of the global flood deaths occur there). We are working with the Central Water Commission of India, starting from Patna (Patna) area, we get the data needed to launch early flood warning. Earlier this month, after the area was attacked storm, the first alarm is issued.

Patna to show users areas of flood warnings.

We also want to expand coverage to more countries, in order to help more people around the world access to these warnings, and help them get information and security.
