#typhoon warning

Published at Google Asia Pacific Blog, the company announced that they teamed up with PAGASA to give warning to Filipinos when a typhoon is entering the PAR. The blog recognizes the fact that our country has been a magnet for storms and typhoons due to its geographical location. Averaging 20 tropical storms per year, we definitely could use some extra help when a typhoon threatens us. This is why Google  launched the Public Alerts here in the Philippines to “make accurate and relevant alerts more accessible during typhoon season.” Google’s Public Alert: Typhoon alerts appear on the Google Public Alert page as well as Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Now both on desktop and mobile devices. Apps that exceed the limit may receive Play Store listing warnings or experience reduced visibility in recommendations and search results. In times of a typhoon, an official hashtag (like #RubyPH) is a useful way to stay updated with advisories from PAGASA as well as for the local media and government to monitor emergencies and people in need of rescuing. #RainySelfie #RubySelfie #TyphoonRuby #RubyPH http://t.co/IoVbJeqKrI — ZyRieL_Unstoppable21 (@MelGalan) December 8, 2014 6.
