Google Launches Disaster Prep Features
Even seen on a laptop screen, the images from last year’s San Bruno explosion are stunning.
But when flipped to different angles, and layered to reveal data and information, the images actually become helpful. At least, that’s what Google is hoping, as it rolls out new disaster preparation technology via its “Geo” team.
It’s technology that Google has been using – Maps and Earth – but now focused on how disaster victims and responders can take advantage of the software, especially considering how we’re all using mobile devices wherever we go.
