Strengthening early warning and response
Partnering to support global flood resilience
In collaboration with the World Meteorological Organization, along with national hydrological agencies in Czechia, Nigeria, Uruguay, and Vietnam, we analyzed the countries’ historical data against Google's flood forecasts to see how local data improves AI forecasting in their river basins and how we can best support local forecasting efforts. Following this pilot phase, Google is scaling the integration of these forecasts globally through partnerships with global water and climate organizations.
Strengthening early warning systems and anticipatory action
Google works with governments and humanitarian organizations, empowering authorities to intervene before disaster strikes. In Nigeria, the NGO GiveDirectly utilizes Google’s Flood Forecasts for Africa’s first AI-driven anticipatory action program, distributing emergency cash ahead of rising waters so communities can evacuate and safeguard their belongings. In Vietnam, Weathernews Inc. shares Google's cyclone and flood predictions with the Vietnam Meteorological and Hydrological Administration to aid preparations for the typhoon season.
Post-disaster damage assessment
Following Hurricane Melissa in 2025, DISHA and UNOSAT leveraged SKAI, Google’s AI-powered satellite imagery model for post-disaster damage assessment. It identified structural damage 6X faster than traditional methods, enabling them to rapidly direct life-saving aid. DISHA is actively expanding its network to integrate more partners into the initiative.

AI Collaboratives
Powered by Google.org, AI Collaboratives unite public, private, and nonprofit organizations alongside Google’s funding and resources to build AI-powered solutions addressing humanity's most urgent challenges, with an immediate focus on wildfire mitigation and food security.
Resources for long-term recovery and resilience
Grants for local aid
Google.org supports on-the-ground efforts in disaster recovery and building community resilience. We partner with local leaders and organizations to provide cash grants for immediate post-disaster needs, alongside anticipatory funding sent ahead of forecasted disasters.
Skills based volunteering
We support nonprofits working on the frontlines of global disaster response by providing technical expertise, alongside funding. The Google.org Fellowship program embeds Google employees like data scientists, communications experts, or engineers full time with nonprofits.
Employee giving and volunteering
Since 2004, Googlers have given more than $50 million in employee donations for crisis support globally. We mobilize volunteers to support local disaster recovery efforts.
