Google Expands Earthquake Alerts to Nearly 200 Regions

Tech5 days ago

Android handsets have delivered more than 1 billion urgent notifications to users since 2021. Google is now increasing the footprint of its earthquake alert system from 98 countries to nearly 200 regions to provide advance warning before seismic activity begins. This update also includes a refined "Be Ready" alert that delivers more detailed information to users in a matter of seconds.

The technology recently served millions of people outside the epicenter during earthquakes in Venezuela this year, providing time to seek shelter before shaking started. These updates aim to reduce injuries and fatalities by providing a few seconds of lead time during a crisis.
