Here is an alarming sign of the times: Along with many other things like cars, satellites, navigation maps, and tree coverage, fire will be one of the top spots on Google Maps
Great wildfire destroying large areas of the U.S. — especially California, where it does not exist Extreme wildfires 17 and he saw a 12.7 million acres temperatures since 2012-now are so common that the term “unprecedented” no longer applies. This is also true of many other areas affected by climate change and disruptive development, such as Australia, where 2019-20 The fire season killed many and emitted a lot of smoke like a huge eruption of mountains.
Wildfires can spread rapidly, and climate change that is spreading in areas like California could be worse, and burning new areas at a lower cost. up to 15 mph. Immediately, many people have moved that which is known as wild and urban forms, numbering millions of people in harmful ways. The combination of these can be deadly.
Confusion and ignorance of the situation are some of the major factors contributing to the deterioration. In the file of 2018 Camp Fire, which destroyed the city of Paradise, California, killing at least 86 people, the authorities were quick to inform more people than the firing squad would reach. Many in the area responded advance warning the fire was about to hit the whole town. Available fire maps can be the difference between escaping a wildfire or trying to leave too late.
Mu blog post, Google Earth & Images editor Rebecca Moore wrote that the machines will use satellites to “help U.S. people understand the size and location of the fire.” This is a new feature, which expands previous Google experiments such as “Troubleshooting” page, It will also connect users to emergency service information and survival strategies.

“With the wildfire layer, you can get up-to-date details about multiple fires at once, allowing you to make quick, informed decisions during times of emergency,” Moore wrote. “Just tap on a fire to see available links to resources from local governments, such as emergency websites, phone numbers for help and information, and evacuation details. When available, you can also see important details about the fire, such as its containment, how many acres have burned, and when all this information was last reported.”
According to Ars Technica, Google says the information will be updated every hour and. The new firewall will sell on Android this week, with iOS and desktop users getting it in October.
Google is immediately raising the value of the Tree Canopy that it launched last year, which Moore wrote using “celestial images and the potential for AI to identify areas in the city that are at high risk for extreme heat.” This allows city planners and city planners to identify tropical islands, much warmer than their neighbors because of the amount of concrete and tar and not the lush green areas. The tool now covers 100 cities around the world, starting at 15. Moore also reported that Google is launching the Address Maker app, which enables governments and non-governmental organizations to distribute home addresses and identify streets and names in less crowded places.
