Google's early warning before quake
The news explains how the "Earthquake Alerts" system integrated into the Android operating system succeeded in sending early warnings to users in Egypt prior to a 5.6 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale, which occurred early this morning near Suez. The system relies on two mechanisms: in the United States, it uses a network of 1,675 sensors to analyze data, while in the rest of the world, including Egypt, it depends on crowdsourced detection via accelerometers in smartphones. These smartphones send signals upon detecting vibrations, and groups of devices collaborate to confirm the occurrence of an earthquake. The system notifies users with three levels of alerts depending on the earthquake's severity, aiming to provide enough time for safety measures without the need for additional apps, through instant notifications displayed on the phone. This system is now effectively capable of delivering warnings before earthquakes occur, and it is considered the largest of its kind worldwide.
