Staying safe this hurricane season

Google Official Blog – “Since 2010, we’ve been working to make disaster-related information immediately available and useful in a crisis, through tools like Public AlertsCrisis Map and Person Finder. And since next week marks the start of hurricane season in the North Atlantic, we thought we’d provide a few tips to help you prepare for potential summer disasters—from tropical storms to wildfires to floods.  Make sure you’ll receive Public Alerts – Google Public Alerts, launched two years ago, is a tool that sends people alerts from authoritative sources like the U.S. National Weather Service or the Japan Meteorological Agency during emergencies. They’re accessible through the Google search app on your mobile devices and Google Chrome on your computer, as well as in search results for related queries and on Google Maps when relevant.”
