- This system is already deployed in many countries around the world and aims to provide people with an early warning when earthquake shaking begins.
- If many phones sense earthquake-like shaking around the same time, Google’s server can use this information to estimate that an earthquake may be happening, as well as characteristics of the event - like its epicenter and magnitude. Then, Google’s server can send alerts to nearby phones.
- The alerts are classified into two types: ‘Be Aware Alert’ and ‘Take Action Alert’, depending on the magnitude and intensity of the earthquake. The alerts also suggest actions a user can take for their safety, such as taking cover under a table.
- The system provides information through Google Search about local seismic events and safety measures when people search for information with queries like "Earthquake near me".
- To use the system, you need to have an Android 5 or higher phone with Wi-Fi and/or cellular data connectivity, and both Android Earthquake Alerts and location settings enabled.
