Google Maps has introduced new features to assist users in locating essential supplies, such as ice, during hurricane season. The 'Products Nearby' option allows users to search for ice suppliers easily. By using either the app or web version, individuals can quickly find nearby stores, check their hours, and save locations for later. Additionally, Google Maps offers a Crisis Sheet for real-time alerts regarding emergencies in specific areas. This enhancement aims to help residents make informed decisions and ensure safety during unpredictable weather events.
