Google Storm Surge Warning Tool Ahead
The director of the National Hurricane Center described a soon to be released tool where those fearing flooding from a surge caused by hurricane need only visit Google and key in an address for a prediction of the impact of the event.
Bill Read, the new head of the U.S. forecasting center describes the tool as a mix of data and Google apps (I’m guess maps?).
The plan is to have the app up and running by the coming Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30.
