Google\u0026#39;s Android earthquake detection network, which uses smartphone accelerometers to detect P-waves, sent alerts to roughly 11.4 million users. The system detected the first P-waves within three seconds of the quake\u0026#39;s onset and issued its first alert nine seconds after the event, giving people in the affected area anywhere from a few seconds to two minutes of warning before the stronger S-waves arrived.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the two quakes occurred seconds apart, the system treated them as a single large earthquake and sent overlapping alerts. Marc Stogaitis, a principal engineer at Google involved in developing the system, said the network functioned as designed. The Android earthquake alert system has been operational since 2021 and by 2025 reached 2.5 billion users worldwide.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Android's earthquake detection network alerted 11.4 million users in Venezuela within three seconds of P-wave arrival.
