Bright key facts / Deployed
A flood map reaches places without gauges.
Google describes Flood Hub coverage in 150 countries for more than two billion people and Groundsource's use of public disaster reports to extend urban flash-flood forecasting.
- AI’s role
- Flood models combine weather and hydrology; Groundsource structures public reports into additional event data.
- Documented result
- Google reports the coverage figures and provides public forecasts/API access. Coverage is not a measure of accuracy or warning delivery.
- Important limitation
- Coverage and population counts are company-reported.
