Google's AI Predicts Flash Floods in 150 Countries — by Reading Historical News Reports

The system currently covers 20-square-kilometer resolution areas and shares live risk alerts directly with emergency response agencies. Southern African Development Community officials who piloted the system reported faster flood response times in initial field trials.
