How governments and institutions are leveraging Google's AI innovation to boost crisis resilience

As extreme weather and natural disasters intensify, the UN has emphasized the need to strengthen multi-hazard early warning systems using technology. Google has actively supported the UN's Early Warnings for All initiative since COP27, playing a technical role.

Over the past decade, Google's Crisis Resilience efforts have delivered AI-driven technological breakthroughs in global detection and prediction. By collaborating with partners, Google aims to provide useful information to billions of people, minimizing the damage caused by natural disasters.

Major international organizations such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) have highly praised Google's contributions. In particular, Google has received positive evaluations in the following areas:

• Support for data-scarce regions: Expanding early warning services to underserved areas lacking ground data
• Rapid response: Quickly deploying Google's technological capabilities against new disaster threats
• Building local capacity: Strengthening communities' response capabilities so that benefits continue even after projects end
