It’s easy to forget the dangers of the world. However, natural disasters happen every day and many of us are unprepared for it.
Natural disasters cause panic. Panic often causes us to act irrationally. In such situations, irrationality could mean fatality.

Safeguard, a natural disaster guide powered by Google Assistant.
Using Google Cloud’s Vision API, we help users determine the safest spots in their homes, as well as giving them tips to make their houses safer. Safeguard will prompt you to choose which spots you would like to be reminded of during a natural disaster.
Using Auto ML Vision, Safeguard will analyse the visual data and give the user personalised safe spots and tips to make their house safer.
Safeguard will be activated and Google Assistant will talk you through the disaster. It will help you calm down, remind you not to panic and share the location of the closest disaster shelter or meeting point.
Google Assistant will check if you are in need of help.
If yes, your location and basic information will be sent to the authorities, providing the type of aid you need. While sending a signal, you can also find out whether your loved ones are safe.
