Google expands Android Earthquake Alerts System to Pakistan

Google on Tuesday announced the expansion of its “Android Earthquake Alerts System” to Pakistan to enable users to detect seismic activity in their areas.

“Today, Google is launching the Android Earthquake Alerts System in Pakistan. The Android Earthquake Alerts System is a useful, no-cost Android feature that detects earthquakes around the world and alerts people,” the search engine giant said in a statement.

The system uses accelerometers in Android smartphones to detect seismic activities. It alerts people in two ways – via search and directly on the Android mobile device itself.

The system provides near-instant information to Google search. When people search for “earthquake” or “earthquake near me,” they will find relevant results, along with helpful resources on what to do after an earthquake. Users who do not wish to receive these alerts can turn off Turn this on in the device settings.”

The system uses accelerometers in Android mobile phones to detect seismic activities.

Pakistan has been hit by many earthquakes in the past especially in the northern and western parts of the country. As this earthquake alert system expands, Android users in the country may receive automatic early warning alerts that help them prepare for an emergency.

On mobile devices, the Android Earthquake Alerts System displays two types of alerts, depending on the size and intensity of the earthquake.

“Be Aware” alerts people when earthquakes of magnitude 4.5, or intensity level 3 or 4 on the MMI scale, occur. The notification is sent with the distance of the epicenter. The alert uses the phone’s current volume, vibration, and Do Not Disturb settings.

Take Action is a full-screen alert for earthquakes greater than 4.5, or intensity level 5 and above on the MMI scale. To help people prepare for possible severe vibration, instructions are displayed in full screen and the phone plays a loud sound.

Android Earthquake Alerts System was first introduced in New Zealand and Greece.

It is now available in more countries including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Philippines, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, USA and Uzbekistan.
