Google has expanded its Android Earthquake Alerts System to cover 199 regions, up from 98. The update includes the Philippines, which was previously part of the smaller list. The system uses data from the US Geological Survey to detect seismic activity and notify users via Android devices. The Philippines, located in a seismically active area, is now included in the global alert network. The change comes after Google announced the expansion in early 2024. Users in affected areas receive real-time notifications to take safety precautions. The update aims to improve disaster response in regions prone to earthquakes. The system automatically sends alerts based on detected tremors. The Philippines has experienced several significant earthquakes in recent years. The new coverage ensures more people are warned in time. The system is available to Android users worldwide.
