Google does a pretty awesome job of offering up resources when natural disasters strike. In case you weren’t aware, there is a tropical storm named Isaac on its way to Florida.

The team is working on updates as it learns more, and this is a page you should bookmark if you’re in or around the path of the storm, or know someone who is.

Be careful and stay safe, folks.
