Maximizing Safety: Empowering Android's Advanced Emergency Features

Discover the Empowering Safety Features of Android

In times of crisis, every second counts towards securing safety and ensuring swift responses from first responders. Android offers unique capabilities that can empower you to act faster - and smarter – during emergencies, helping you reach safety more efficiently while also providing ease for emergency personnel seeking your location.

Prepare for Emergencies with Advanced Alerts

Be alerted seconds before an earthquake strikes thanks to the Android Earthquake Alert System. This system turns each Android device into a mini-seismometer contributing to one of the world's largest mobile earthquake detection networks. Upon experiencing significant shaking, you'll be informed promptly so that you can quickly drop, cover, and hold. To ensure access across many countries, visit our Help Center for information on avlability in your region.

Swift Assistance from First Responders

The Emergency Location Service ELS ensures faster locating of those in need during emergencies by providing first responders with your precise location, saving invaluable time. With the ELS enabled, your phone can communicate your preferred language to first responders, potentially streamlining critical communication processes.

Collaborate and Enhance Safety Together

If you're involved with governmental or emergency services organizations, we invite collaboration on improving safety through Android technology. Learn more about opportunities for partnership today.

Global Reach of Emergency Services

ELS is avlable in numerous countries worldwide, enabling quick assistance when time is of the essence.
