Flood forecast learned from 50 lakh news articles, now you will get warning of flash flood and cloudburst: – ..

News India Live, Digital Desk: Google has taken a revolutionary step to reduce the damage caused by natural disasters, especially flash floods and cloudburst incidents. Google has a new AI-powered flood forecasting model Launched, which has been trained on more than 50 lakh news articles and historical data. This technology is now capable of giving accurate warnings even in sensitive places like Dharli (Uttarakhand).

How does this AI model work?

Traditional models often rely only on rainfall and river level data, but this new model from Google takes a ‘multi-model’ approach:

Analysis of News Articles: The model has processed more than 5 million news articles from the past several decades. This helped the AI ​​understand what circumstances (such as sudden temperature rise or heavy rainfall) had caused floods in the past.

Real-time data: It combines satellite imagery, weather forecasts and local sensor data to produce a ‘predictive map’.

Flash Flood Warning: Unlike normal floods, flash floods have very little preparation time. This model now 7 days ago Can predict floods by 2-3 days, which earlier was only 2-3 days.

Will help in incidents like Dharli cloudburst

Hyper-local Alerts: It can issue warnings at the level of small villages and valleys instead of big cities.

Android Alert: Google sends alerts to local people through notifications and searches directly on Android phones, giving critical time for rescue operations.
