Flood Notification in the Indonesian island of Java

If we look at the Java map on Google Maps, there are many flood notifications. I do not find this on maps of other countries.The extreme rainy weather in Java Island makes flooding inevitable.

Currently the floods are starting to recede but the notification is still there.

Semoga Pulau Jawa kembali normal sedia kala.

Hi, @Wisnusetiono , I’ve never seen this kind of notification (flood) before on Google Maps. Maybe it is a new feature of this app. I think it is useful, what do you think?

Actually this Google Maps’ feature is not new, @BeatrizAguilar . It’s exist since mid 2017. And it includes flood warning. You could read it here: Helping People in a Crisis

If you don’t see it, @BeatrizAguilar , maybe you need to zoom in/out a little bit at a certain area.
