Česta pitanja o SOS upozorenjima

1. Što su SOS upozorenja?

   Cilj je SOS upozorenja učiniti podatke za hitne slučajeve dostupnijima tijekom prirodnih nepogoda ili kriznih situacija uzrokovanih ljudskim djelovanjem. Prikupljamo relevantan i vjerodostojan sadržaj s weba, društvenih medija i Googleovih proizvoda, a zatim te informacije ističemo na Googleovim proizvodima kao što su Pretraživanje i Karte. Ovisno o prirodi krizne situacije i vašoj lokaciji, prikazivat će se obavijesti lokalnih, državnih ili međunarodnih tijela. Te obavijesti mogu sadržavati hitne telefonske brojeve i web-lokacije, karte, prijevode korisnih fraza, prijedloge za donacije i još mnogo toga. 

2. Kako Google odlučuje kada će prikazati SOS upozorenje?

   U obzir uzimamo brojne čimbenike, na primjer internetsku vezu na pogođenom području, dostupnost službenih sadržaja vlasti i drugih mjerodavnih organizacija i učinak na terenu. SOS upozorenja obično su dostupna na primarnim jezicima pogođenog područja, kao i na engleskom.  

   Iako ne možemo jamčiti da ćete vidjeti SOS upozorenja za sve veće krizne situacije, namjeravamo s vremenom proširiti njihovu dostupnost. Dodirnite vezu Povratne informacije na bilo kojem SOS upozorenju ako imate prijedloge za poboljšanje. Zahvalni smo vam na pomoći.

3. Koji su izvori sadržaja za SOS upozorenja?

   U cijelom svijetu imamo timove koji prikupljaju sadržaje od tijela vlasti, hitnih službi, pouzdanih medija i nevladinih organizacija. Informacije prikupljamo i s drugih Googleovih proizvoda i usluga kao što su Google vijesti, Google karte, Waze i ostalo.

4. Kako mogu primati SOS upozorenja?

   Ako se nalazite u blizini veće krizne situacije i pretražujete povezane riječi ili fraze na Googleu, možda ćete vidjeti natpis da je u tijeku krizna situacija, uz podatke i resurse za hitne slučajeve kao što su korisni prijevodi ili telefonski brojevi. Ako ste instalirali najnoviju verziju aplikacije Google (Android i iOS) i uključena vam je lokacija, možda ćete primiti obavijest i na početnom zaslonu mobilnog uređaja. Dodirnite tu obavijest da biste vidjeli cijelo upozorenje na Google pretraživanju.

   Ako niste na kriznom području, nećete dobiti obavijest, no možete pronaći SOS upozorenja pretražujući informacije o tom događaju. Informacije koje ćete vidjeti mogu se razlikovati od informacija prikazanih na kriznom području. Na primjer, umjesto telefonskih brojeva za hitne slučajeve, možda će vam se prikazati veza za doniranje za tu kriznu situaciju.

   Ako upotrebljavate Google karte, SOS upozorenja mogli biste vidjeti i izravno na karti ako su upozorenja aktivna na području koje pregledavate. Dodirnite ikonu kako biste dobili više informacija o kriznoj situaciji, na primjer korisne telefonske brojeve i web-lokacije.

5. Zašto mi se ne prikazuju SOS upozorenja?

   Ako vam se tijekom krizne situacije ne prikazuje SOS upozorenje, to može biti zbog jednog od sljedećih razloga:

   • Vaš je upit za pretraživanje možda preširok. Za pretraživanje upotrijebite ključne riječi koje obuhvaćaju vrstu nepogode i naziv pogođenog područja. 
   • Možda i dalje prikupljamo i provjeravamo informacije prije objavljivanja SOS upozorenja. Provjeravajte ažuriranja tijekom krizne situacije. 
   • Možda ne planiramo objaviti SOS upozorenje za tu kriznu situaciju. Cilj nam je pružati SOS upozorenja za više vrsta kriznih situacija. U međuvremenu posjetite Googleov Twitter račun za krizne situacije da biste saznali kako još podržavamo pomoć u kriznim situacijama, uključujući donacije, volontiranje i prikupljanje satelitskih slika.

6. Kako se pružaju povratne informacije o sadržaju SOS upozorenja?

   Dodirnite vezu Povratne informacije pri vrhu upozorenja da biste nam poslali svoje komentare o našem radu. Komentare i prijedloge pregledat ćemo čim to bude moguće. 

7. Imam pitanje o donaciji.

   U ovom centru za pomoć saznajte više o doniranju neprofitnim organizacijama koje podržavaju pomoć i obnovu.

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.

   Google prikazuje upozorenja o pretjeranoj vrućini u sljedećim slučajevima:

   • Kombinacija temperature i vlage smatra se opasnom za ljudsko tijelo (u skladu s pragom opasnosti od NWS-ovog indeksa vrućine).
   • Vrućina je viša od uobičajene za tu lokaciju u usporedbi s prethodnim godinama.
   • Prekomjerni toplinski uvjeti traju najmanje dva uzastopna dana.

   Ta upozorenja sadrže i sljedeće informacije:

   Uvidi i relevantni podaci o vremenu kao što su:

   • trenutačna temperatura
   • koliki je doista osjećaj topline
   • koliko bi dugo pretjerana vrućina mogla potrajati
   • informacije o vremenskoj prognozi
   • sigurnosni savjeti Globalne mreže za informacije o vrućinama i zdravlju.

   Važno: upozorenja o pretjeranoj vrućini predstavljaju samo procjenu i služe samo u informativne svrhe. Više informacija potražite u službenim izvorima.

2. Kako mogu pronaći upozorenja o pretjeranoj vrućini?

   Da biste pretražili upozorenja o pretjeranoj vrućini u blizini:
