when the phone detects an earthquake, it sends a message back to google s servers. when enough phones do this, google can pinpoint the epicenter and send out an earthquake warning. this is what millions of people in turkey, in theory, got before the earthquake struck. and so you ll hear it go. it looks like this and it says drop, cover and hold. phone chimes. so it s pretty loud. it s pretty loud. this is micah berman, the product manager for the system at google. he explains how earthquakes move through the ground relatively slowly compared to a message near instantly reaching your phone. so the farther you are from the epicenter of the earthquake, the more warning time we re able to give you generally because we ve detected it at the epicenter. and if you re farther away, we re racing at the speed of light and the speed of motion through the ground, the speed of light wins by more and more and more the farther you get away from the epicentre of the earthquake.
