How to use Android’s new earthquake alerts tool
Google on Tuesday announced the expansion of the Android Earthquake Alert System to 50 US states and 6 US territories. The safety feature will send you a notification seconds before you even feel the tremors that come with significant seismic activities. Those extra few seconds could mean the difference between life and death, as the alerts should heopfully give you enough time to take cover and wait for the earthquake to stop.
The good news about the new Android feature, which is already available in 97 other countries, is that you won't have to do anything to activate it.
