Google's SOS alerts already give you vital information when you're in a crisis zone, and now that includes driving directions.

Google is adding tools to Google Maps and search to help you survive a natural disaster. Maps will show hurricane path cones, earthquake shake maps and flood forecasts. The info will be available through crisis cards that pop up in the app when you're in an affected area, but you'll also see them if you search Google for disaster- or location-related keywords regardless of where you are.
