How to report road closures on Maps during a crisis

Reporting seems to be useless. My road has been closed this week and will be closed next week as they replace a culvert. The Android version says six people have reported the road closure, but 1) Google on my phone still give me directions over a stretch I’ve told them twice is closed (including 15 minutes ago), and 2) nothing shows up on maps.google.com for that part of the road.

Hi @AriMar

Thank you for sharing this with us.

This is a very good feature.

I’m always happy to know that my contribution can save people time or life.

Unfortunately it’s not yet available in my country

“Waze” have a similar function and above that you can report any road hazards, like accidents, dead animals or other obstcles on road. Now, “Waze” was bought by Google, so some functionalities can be ported (eventually qith improvements) to Google maps easily.

Много е удобно и помага да се избегне трафика по маршрута

Gracias Arimar, espero, por ahora que en mi país URUGUAY, no tenga que recurrir a esta gran herramienta URUGUAY, una plenillanura, con cientos de corrientes de agua, pero en temporada de lluvias es sumamente importante y necesaria.

Hi @TerryGoodman

Are you currently located in an area that Google has identified as a crisis area? Like an earthquake zone, flooding area or volcano eruption, to mame just a few?

The crisis card is not something that the users can access or activate on their own, it is done by Google where major natural disasters are happening.

If you currently are in a crisis area you may want to mention it in your reply to see if a Google employee can provide you with more information.
