Announcing this on its official blog on Tuesday Google said that it currently covers more than 40 million people in Bangladesh and it is working to expand its coverage to the whole of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting a study conducted in collaboration with Yale, it said that more than 65 percent of people who receive advance flood warnings take action to protect themselves and their assets. It said Google is working to launch a new forecasting model to double the lead time so that people have an extra day or so to prepare in case of impending floods. It said the alert is available in Hindi, Bengali and seven other local languages.<\/p>\n<p>The company is also partnering with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to build to deliver alerts to people who don\u2019t have smart phones to receive the alerts directly.<\/p>\n<p>The company uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyse \u00a0historical data to predict flood in the river basins. Google launched its flood forecasting pilot programme in Patna in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>By Rajesh Jha<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google partners with Bangladesh for flood forecasting Share Now Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Google has partnered with Bangladesh Water Development Board to bring the flood warning services to the country.
