Google's Earthquake Alert System Misses Millions During 2023 Turkey Quake

In 2023, a devastating earthquake struck Turkey, claiming the lives of tens of thousands of people. Despite the availability of a technology designed to warn people about earthquakes, Google reported that only 469 high alert notifications were sent out to those in the affected areas. This shortfall raises concerns about the effectiveness of the earthquake detection system, especially when so many lives could have been saved with timely alerts. The limited number of warnings highlights a critical gap in emergency communication during natural disasters. Many residents were left unaware of the imminent danger, which could have led to better preparedness and potentially fewer casualties. As the world continues to face the threat of earthquakes, it is essential for companies and governments to improve their alert systems to ensure that everyone receives timely and accurate information when it matters most.
