Google’s Android Earthquake Alerts System is now available in all 50 US states and 6 territories, expanding its initial rollout from 2020.

2. **Enhanced Detection**  
For regions like California, Oregon, and Washington, the system continues to use traditional ShakeAlert seismometers. In other areas, it leverages Android phone accelerometers to detect and analyze earthquakes.
