Earth’s position also exposes the risk of strong underwater megathrus earthquakes that can cause devastating tsunami and represent a serious threat to regional safety and stability.
How your Android phone can alert you to the earthquake (and how to enable it)
Your phone accelerometer, the same sensor that knows when you turn the screen, can detect an early earthquake, known as P-Vlny. They are fast, but not destructive. Once your phone is detected, it shares an anonymous location and movement data with Google servers.

If enough phones in the area pick up similar signals, the system confirms the earthquake. Before the slower but more dangerous affection of the S-VLNY, the server sends a warning, which gives you rare seconds to respond.
How to enable the Earthquake alerts on Android phone
Follow these quick steps to activate the earthquake alerts:
Step 1: Open the Settings app
Step 2: Go down to “Security and Emerge” (on some phones it may be under “location”).
Step 3: Tap “Earthquake alert”
Step 4: Switch the switch and enable notification
Make sure your position is on. The system works best when your phone knows where you are. Data sent to Google are anonymous and are only used to detect an earthquake, not for tracking.
If you want to check that the alerts are active, look for the “earthquake” settings and verify the switch.
What to do when you get a warning
If your phone buzzes with an earthquake warning:
Drop, cover and hold: get under the table or a robust surface.
Stay away from the windows and objects that could fall.
Do not panic or run: Use a few seconds to secure.
Even a five-second heads-up can save life.
A restriction that needs to be kept in mind
To warn you, you will need an internet or a mobile signal.
Remote areas with weak coverage may not be fully beneficial.
This system is a supplement, not in exchange, for official government alerts or emergency protocols.
