Google Public Alerts is a platform for disseminating emergency messages and everyday alerts using Google’s strength in information and technology aiming to provide the public with information it needs to make informed decisions during critical events such as severe weather disturbances.
Google Public Alerts work by incorporating public alert data from authoritative sources into Google Search, Google Maps, and other Google platforms and simplifying the process of finding emergency information. Contents come from partner countries such as USA, Australia and Canada. Google is able to provide Public Alerts in the Philippines through the information provided by PAGASA.
The PAGASA Technical Team worked on the project for six months and it is the fastest collaboration of Google amongst the nine (9) partner countries.
“We expect that with the next typhoon that would come in the country, the PAGASA Crisis Team in partnership with Google Crisis Response Team , will be issuing the first Public Alert in the Philippines”, said Dr. Landrico Dalida, Jr., PAGASA’s OIC for Operations and Services, during the launch.
True enough, Tropical Depression Queenie is the first featured weather disturbance in Google Public Alerts in the Philippines.
By providing readily-available online data, Google Public Alerts actually complements the existing information released by PAGASA thru its website and other social media accounts.
