Pogosta vprašanja za SOS opozorila

1. Kaj so SOS-opozorila?

   SOS-opozorila so namenjena zagotavljanju večje dostopnosti informacij za nujne primere ob naravnih katastrofah ali katastrofah, ki jih povzroči človek. Združimo pomembno in zanesljivo vsebino iz spleta, družbenih omrežij in Googlovih izdelkov, nato pa to vsebino izpostavimo v Iskanju Google in Google Zemljevidih. Glede na vrsto nujnega primera in vaše lokacije bodo prikazana obvestila lokalnih, državnih ali mednarodnih organov. Ta obvestila lahko vsebujejo telefonske številke in spletna mesta za nujne primere, zemljevide, prevode uporabnih besednih zvez, priložnosti za prispevanje in drugo. 

2. Kako se Google odloči, kdaj bo prikazano SOS-opozorilo?

   Upoštevamo več dejavnikov, med drugim možnost vzpostavljanja povezave z internetom na prizadetem območju, razpoložljivost uradne vsebine vladnih in drugih uradnih organizacij ter učinek na terenu. SOS-opozorila so običajno na voljo v prednostnih jezikih območja, ki ga je prizadela kriza, kakor tudi v angleškem jeziku.  

   Čeprav ne moremo zagotoviti, da bodo SOS-opozorila prikazana ob vsaki večji krizi, si prizadevamo, da bi bila sčasoma čedalje bolj razpoložljiva. Če imate predloge, kako jih lahko izboljšamo, se dotaknite povezave Povratne informacije na katerem koli SOS-opozorilu. Veseli bomo vašega prispevka.

3. Od kod črpate vsebino za SOS-opozorila?

   Skupine po vsem svetu zbirajo vsebino pri vladnih agencijah, reševalnem osebju, ki je prvo na kraju katastrofe, zaupanja vrednih medijih in nevladnih organizacijah. Prav tako združujemo informacije iz drugih Googlovih izdelkov in storitev, kot so Google News, Google Zemljevidi, Waze in drugi.

4. Kako lahko prejmem SOS opozorilo?

   Če ste v bližini večje krize in v Googlu iščete povezane besede ali besedne zveze, bo morda prikazana pasica s sporočilom, da je v teku kriza, v nadaljevanju pa bodo prikazane informacije in viri za nujne primere, kot so uporabni prevodi ali telefonske številke. Če ste namestili najnovejšo različico aplikacije Google (v sistemu Android in iOS) in imate vklopljeno lokacijo, boste morda tudi prejeli obvestilo na začetni zaslon mobilne naprave. Dotaknite se obvestila, če si želite ogledati opozorilo v celoti v Iskanju Google. 

   Če ste zunaj kriznega območja, ne boste prejeli obvestila, vendar lahko še vedno poiščete SOS opozorila, tako da poiščete informacije o dogodku. Morda boste prejeli drugačne informacije kot ljudje, ki so bližje kriznemu območju. Namesto telefonskih številk za nujne primere bo morda prikazana povezava za prispevanje za to krizo. 

   Če uporabljate Google Zemljevide, so desno na zemljevidu morda prikazana tudi SOS opozorila, če so na območju, ki si ga ogledujete, dejavna kakršna koli opozorila. Dotaknite se ikone, če želite več informacij o krizi, kot so koristne telefonske številke in spletna mesta.

5. Zakaj SOS-opozorila niso prikazana?

   Če med krizo SOS-opozorila niso prikazana, je morda krivo nekaj od tega:

   • Iskalna poizvedba je morda preširoka. Poskusite iskati s ključnimi besedami, ki vključujejo vrsto katastrofe in ime prizadetega območja. 
   • Še vedno morda zbiramo in preverjamo informacije, preden izdamo SOS-opozorilo. Preverite znova pozneje, ali so ob nadaljnjem razvoju krize na voljo nove informacije. 
   • Morda ne nameravamo izdati SOS-opozorila za ta nujni primer. Prizadevamo si, da bi SOS-opozorila izdali ob večjem številu kriz. Medtem obiščite račun Googlove storitve za odziv v nujnih primerih v Twitterju, če želite izvedeti več o drugih načinih, s katerimi podpiramo prizadevanja za pomoč v nujnih primerih, med katerimi so podeljevanje podpore, prostovoljstvo in zbiranje satelitskih posnetkov.

6. Kako lahko pošljem povratne informacije glede vsebine v SOS-opozorilu?

   Dotaknite se povezave Povratne informacije na vrhu opozorila, če nam želite sporočiti, kako smo se odrezali. Vaše komentarje ali predloge bomo pregledali čim prej. 

7. Imam vprašanje glede darovanja.

   V tem centru za pomoč preberite več o darovanju neprofitnim organizacijam, ki podpirajo prizadevanja za pomoč in reševanje.

2. How do the Flood Forecasting models work?

   To provide Flood Forecasting, we monitor historical and real-time water level measurements and precipitation forecasts. We use data that’s either publicly available or available to Google through partnerships with local governments. Based on this information, we run 2 main types of machine learning models:

   • Hydrologic models: Provides forecasts of river water levels for upcoming days.
   • Inundation models: Provides forecasts for the flood extent on the ground. This information tells us who to notify and helps us provide flood maps on Google Maps.

   Find more information about these models.

3. How does Google decide when to show a Flood Forecasting alert?

   Google displays a Flood Forecasting alert when the water in a river is higher than a warning level or is expected to be higher than a warning level. Warning levels estimate when a river will flood and are usually based on historical flood events. Government agencies that manage floods provide warning levels to Google.

   Google Flood Forecasting alerts are updated several times a day, based on real-time local data. If an alert is no longer active, Google removes it from Search and Maps results.

    

4. Who receives Flood Forecasting notifications?

   Once an upcoming flood is identified, Google sends notifications. Notifications go to people who have their smartphone location services turned on and who are located in the area that’s flooded or expected to flood. If you aren’t near an area that’s flooded or expected to flood, you won’t get a Google flood forecast notification.

5. Turn off Flood Forecasting notifications

   You’ll find Flood Forecasting notifications as part of the Google Search Application notifications. On Android devices, it’s available as a system app. On iPhones and iPads, you can install the Google app from the Apple App Store.

   To turn off Flood Forecasting notifications, turn off “Crisis Alerts” notifications.

   If you are within a supported area, and search for a flooded area in a specific location via google search app, you’ll find a flood forecast in your Search page results. If your location services are turned on and you search for floods without a location specified, you’ll see a flood forecast if there’s flooding near you.

6. When I search for “flood,” why don’t I always get a Flood Forecasting alert?

   Your Search results depend on location. If you search for flood and include a specific location that’s flooded, you’ll find a flood forecasting alert in your results. If your location services are turned on and you search for flood without a location specified, you’ll get an alert only if there’s flooding near you.

7. Do Google’s Flood Forecasting alerts coordinate with local governmental alerts?

   Google partners with the relevant government agencies in charge of flood monitoring and alerting. This ensures that Google displays alerts in coordination with governmental alerts that are released in other ways.
