Google Maps, Warning Alerts about Emergency Situations

Whether you're unaware that an earthquake warning has been issued for the area you are visiting later or whether you desperately need more information about the hurricane headed your way, Google Maps should be able to help! Why? Because the popular mapping service now incorporates emergency alerts from several public safety organizations.
