We’ve seen artificial intelligence (AI) do everything from write an essay to develop an entire business — but did you know that it can help mitigate the dangers of natural disasters, too?

Last November, Google released its AI-enabled flood-forecasting platform, FloodHub, to 20 countries around the globe.

Google has now expanded FloodHub to 80 countries worldwide, adding 60 new countries across Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and South and Central America.

The newly included regions include areas with the highest percentages of people exposed to flood risk, such as the Netherlands, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. 

Another important upgrade is that FloodHub will be able to provide forecasting up to seven days in advance, which is a big increase from 48 hours last year.

Within the next year, Google plans to expand flood forecasting alerts in Search and Maps to deliver critical information to its users in their times of need.
