Google adding Public Alerts to Maps, keeps you safe as you drown in a flood

Nowadays Google just keeps on improving and improving right? First Google Chrome, then Gmail, and a whole other bunch. Well it's time for Google Maps to join the party as Google is now finally adding Public Alerts into it's map service. When you search up, say a address, alerts for earthquakes and floods and storms will come up along with your search. All this is provided by the NOAA, the National Weather Service, and the US Geological Survey. All of you who are in the states can start using it now, as for the others, you can only hope and wait.
