Real-Time Safe Navigation Alerts

Google's SOS alerts will now provide real-time information about any natural disasters including earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. The information will be presented to users visually and will include Google Maps overlays that will show users the area where the disaster is taking place. This will allow users, who are using Maps to navigate, the ability to bypass dangerous areas. Also, users who are in the affected area will get notifications indicating this. Google SOS alerts will also give users the ability to share information, including sharing users location and the ability to report road closures that users come across.

Google will be releasing its SOS Alerts to users in the upcoming weeks, however, this may depend on the global region.
