About Google Now cards
A Google Now card is a short snippet of useful information that slides into view right when you’re most likely to need it. For exam- ple, here’s a traffic card:
To see some sample cards from the main Google Now screen, touch Menu > Sample cards. When you’re finished and want to get back to the main Google Now screen, touch Hide sample cards.
In addition to the cards shown in the list of samples, you may also see a Public Alerts card.
Public Alerts provide emergency information from sources such as the National Weather Service and the U.S. Geological Survey. Coverage is currently provided by a limited number of key part- ners, only in the United States (excepting U.S. Geological Survey earthquake alerts). Google can’t guarantee that you’ll see every relevant alert. However, Google Now attempts to show you what’s important when you need it, in the hope that such alerts are a use- ful additional source of information. To learn more, visit support. google.com/publicalerts.
