According to Free Malaysia Today, yesterday at around 9:59 PM, an earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale hit western Indonesia’s Sumatra island, causing fearful residents’ homes to shake. The Malaysian meteorological department has warned that tremors could be felt in several areas, including Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, and Johor.
How Android Earthquake Alerts System Works According to Google, in the United States, there’s a network of 1675 seismic sensors to detect earthquakes, and analyses that data to determine the location and size of the tremors. The system then sends a signal to Android Earthquake Alerts System, which then sends an alert directly to Android users.
