By relying on technology developed by ShakeAlert, an early warning signal could easily be emitted, received by Android mobile phones, and transmitted as a warning message to users. What s more interesting is how the technology is implemented in areas without proper seismographs. By relying on idle accelerometers built into Android devices, an earthquake warning could be sent out by relying on data received from millions of users that are all in the same area. Much like how Google Maps gives traffic updates by noting down phone locations, these phones could act as simpl
