Google Earth gets smarter: Gemini AI now answers questions about floods, droughts, and more—here’s how

Google is taking its Earth AI platform to the next level. Google’s Gemini AI models use advanced geospatial artificial intelligence to help communities prepare for and respond to disasters. From floods to wildfires, Google says its tools have already helped millions make life-saving decisions. During the devastating 2025 California wildfires, for example, Google Maps and crisis alerts reached 15 million people across Los Angeles, directing them to shelters and safe routes.

“Our flood forecasting now reaches more than two billion people worldwide,” Google said.
