Google expands Android earthquake warning system in Pakistan

Google on Tuesday announced the launch of an earthquake warning system in Pakistan which aims to detect seismic activities that can help people prepare for an imminent emergency.

“Android Earthquake Alerts System is a useful, no-cost Android feature that detects earthquakes around the world and alerts people. It uses sensors in Android smartphones,” the search engine giant said in a statement.

The system provides near-instant information for 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,” the statement said.

It said users who don’t want to receive alerts can turn off notifications in the device’s settings.

“Pakistan has experienced many earthquakes in the past especially in the northern and western parts of the country. As the earthquake alert system expands, Android users in Pakistan may receive automatic early warning alerts that help them prepare for emergencies.”

According to Google, the system displays two types of alerts, depending on the size and intensity of the earthquake.

A feature entitled 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 along with the distance of the epicenter. The phone alert uses the current volume, vibration and Do Not Disturb settings. “

In contrast, another major feature called “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 full screen and the phone beeps.”

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

The statement added that it is now available in more countries including Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Philippines, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, the United States of America and Uzbekistan.
