Google announces the first flood warning system in Brazil based on AI and Machine Learning

Google , in partnership with the Geological Survey of Brazil ( SGB-CPRM ), has announced the first flood alert system based on Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and Machine Learning to operate in Brazil .

The project joins the other solutions of the Google warning system against environmental disasters , such as the Alerts SOS and public notices .
Unveiled during the Understanding Risk Forum , organized by the Banco Mundial , in Florianópolis , the new technology , which is already available in other countries , such as India and Bangladesh , will now also be available in Colombia , Sri Lanka and also in 15 African countries , including Chad , Nigeria , Republic of Congo and South Africa .
The system created by Google uses the combination of several metrics , such as water levels in rivers , meteorological indicators and satellite images , in addition to using computational power and experience in Machine Learning to develop automated flood forecasting and warning systems on a global scale .
In Brazil , the system will be implemented in two stages , in partnership with SGB-CPRM , an agency linked to the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy ( MME ). The first will issue real-time riverside flood alerts to more than 60 locations across Brazil – showing where floods are occurring in real time . The second step takes place in the use of flood forecasts generated by the SGB-CPRM hydrology team and by the Google systems in selected areas of Brazil .
