It’s not Google’s job to track and warn people about earthquakes, their job is to make sure their alert system accepts/distributes government safety warnings, which to my knowledge works just fine.
Yeah, I get “severe weather” notifications on my phone, even when the storm isn’t super concerning (and certainly not in my area). I do make decisions based on that, and I get plenty of notice.
None of this is sourced from Google, it’s purely our government’s notification system.
And why does Google manage that and not the government utilizing public standards mandated for both android and iOS?
