Google is rolling out an earthquake alert service in India that utilizes sensors in Android smartphones to detect earthquakes and estimate their intensity. Called the 'Android Earthquake Alerts System', it has been introduced in consultation with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and National Seismology Centre (NSC). Through this service, Google aims to provide Android users in India with automatic early warning alerts when an earthquake occurs in their area. The system will be rolled out to all Android 5+ users in the country over the coming week. This launch aligns with Google's efforts to provide helpful alert services during natural disasters, leveraging sensors in smartphones.
