Google SOS Alerts

Something new.

Happy to have played a small part in this. The team work on developing the idea, naming, branding, language, and created some some high level UX/UI and design guidelines to help this important feature rollout consistently across our platforms and products.

In times of crisis, access to timely, actionable info is crucial so we are launching SOS alerts in Search & Maps https://t.co/NqsX9G0msz
