Google Earth AI Advances with Geospatial Reasoning to Tackle Global Challenges

When disasters strike, Google’s tools like Search and Maps help billions of people make life-saving decisions. Our flood forecasting system now reaches over two billion people, delivering critical warnings before major river floods occur. This has enabled organizations like World Vision to deliver drinking water and food to affected communities at the right time. During the 2025 California wildfires, Google provided crisis alerts to 15 million people in Los Angeles, using real-time data from local authorities to show shelter locations directly in Google Maps. These efforts are powered by advanced geospatial AI models that track floods, wildfires, cyclones, air quality, and more. We recently launched Google Earth AI, a platform that integrates these models to address some of the planet’s most urgent challenges. Built on decades of Earth modeling and enhanced by cutting-edge predictive algorithms and Gemini’s advanced reasoning capabilities, Earth AI enables governments, cities, and nonprofits to gain deep insights in minutes—tasks that once required years of complex analysis and expert work. Today, we’re expanding Earth AI’s capabilities and making it more accessible worldwide. Key advancements include: Geospatial Reasoning: Seeing the Full Picture To solve complex global issues, you need to understand how different factors interact. Geospatial Reasoning, powered by Gemini, now allows AI to automatically connect diverse Earth AI models—such as satellite imagery, population density maps, weather forecasts, and infrastructure data—to answer complex, real-world questions. For instance, instead of just identifying where a storm is heading, analysts can now use Geospatial Reasoning to determine which communities are most at risk, which roads and bridges may be damaged, and which hospitals or shelters are in the path of danger—all in a single analysis. This capability is already making a difference. The nonprofit GiveDirectly is using Geospatial Reasoning to combine flood risk data with population density maps, enabling faster, more accurate identification of individuals and communities in need of emergency aid. We’re now inviting select social impact organizations to join our Trusted Tester program for Geospatial Reasoning. Nonprofits interested in early access and future support can learn more through Google.org and our non-commercial access initiatives. With these advances, Google Earth AI is becoming a powerful tool for resilience, planning, and humanitarian action—helping organizations respond faster, smarter, and more equitably to global challenges.
