00:08Welcome to our channel Registro.
00:10We are a channel about cars and also technology.
00:14The current seismic situation deserves attention, but not because there is evidence that the
00:19Earth is preparing for something much bigger.
00:22In this video, we are going to show you how to activate the Earthquake Alert on your Android
00:27phone at the request of some of our followers.
00:30Believe it or not, there are still many people who don't know how to activate it.
00:34And here we are going to explain it to you step by step.
00:37And we are also going to explain why some people say that the Android Alert doesn't reach them,
00:42and it's due to a simple mistake they make.
00:45Let's begin.
00:46In particular, the Earthquakes in Venezuela, Colombia and Indonesia are very serious events.
00:52The fact that they have occurred so close together in time is very striking, but it does not
00:56allow us to predict that an even larger earthquake will occur tomorrow.
01:01And this is fundamental.
01:03Science currently cannot reliably predict the day, location and magnitude of a future earthquake,
01:10but we do have technological tools like Android and iPhone alerts which can save your life
01:16in a matter of seconds.
01:18I explained the alerts for iPhone in a previous video.
01:21If you haven't seen the video for iPhone, I'll leave it for you in the comments.
01:25Let's start with the configuration.
01:27The first thing we are going to do is click on settings, which would be this button.
01:32We are going to click on it.
01:35We are going to look for an option called safety and emergency, which should be around
01:41here.
01:41It's in red.
01:42We are going to click on it.
01:45And in this section, an option called crisis alerts will appear.
01:50We are going to click on it.
01:53And in that section, this window appears where we can activate crisis alerts.
01:58Receive notifications about natural disasters or public emergencies in your area.
02:04Android uses your device's approximate location to find information about emergencies in your
02:10area, even when the app is closed or not in use.
02:13So, let's go ahead and activate it.
02:17Done.
02:18With that activated, that's all.
02:20We'll go back.
02:24And further down, we will find an option called earthquake alerts.
02:30We are going to click on it and activate it.
02:34How does it work?
02:36When an earthquake is detected near your location, you will receive an alert with the estimated
02:41initial magnitude and the distance from your location.
02:45It is essential to have this option activated.
02:48Watch your demo.
02:50Learn safety tips in case of an earthquake.
02:53Android uses your approximate location to send information about nearby earthquakes with
02:58a magnitude of 4.5 or higher.
03:02Shake alert systems, which would be the Sea, Ore, WA and Android in all other locations detect earthquakes.
03:10Keep the following in mind.
03:12Earthquake alerts are not available in all regions.
03:17Not all earthquakes can be detected.
03:20Estimates of earthquake magnitude and intensity may not be accurate.
03:25You may receive alerts before, during or after the earthquake begins.
03:30If you want more information, click on the link shown down there.
03:34We go back.
03:36And as you can see, we also have an emergency location service, which should also be turned
03:43on.
03:45Wireless emergency alerts, which should also be turned on.
03:49External threats, severe threats.
03:52If you want, you can turn them on.
03:54I have it turned on here.
03:56We go back.
03:58And here is another type of alert as well.
04:01But the most important one of all is earthquake alerts.
04:05Earthquake alerts, remember, must be turned on.
04:08We go back to the main menu and here another question arises.
04:13Why do many people not receive the earthquake notification?
04:17Simple.
04:18It's because they don't have location services turned on.
04:21Location must be turned on.
04:23What is location?
04:25This one.
04:26This one we have here.
04:28If you don't have the alert activated, nor the internet or data plan, in case the wifi
04:33connection fails, the phone will connect to the data plan and the signal will be sent.
04:38But location must be activated.
04:40It is fundamental.
04:42That's why it doesn't work for many people and Google has no way to detect where your location
04:47is.
04:48I hope you like this video.
04:49The truth is that it is essential to have these alerts activated, these earthquake emergency
04:55alerts that can save your life in a matter of seconds.
04:58And I repeat, we also made a video for iPhone.
05:01If you haven't seen it, I'll leave it for you in the comments.
