As earthquakes struck from California to Venezuela to Japan, millions of people received warnings on their mobile phones, providing critical seconds to seek protection.<\/p>\n

Venezuela was struck with a pair of deadly earthquakes Wednesday evening and Thursday morning that brought significant shaking to the northern coast of Japan. Earlier in the week residents in the U.S. state of California experienced a moderate earthquake, and at the start of June, 37 people in the Philippines died in a quake near Mindanao.<\/p>\n

The warning system relies on crowdsourced data from the sensors in individual cellphones to detect seismic events and send warnings to other phone users in the area.<\/p>\n

Pericles S\u00e1nchez, a 39-year-old Venezuelan writer in Caracas, received an earthquake warning on his Android phone a few minutes before the earthquake reached his home, allowing him the time to run outside. S\u00e1nchez said his family\u2019s house was not damaged.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until we were already outside that we started to feel it,\u201d S\u00e1nchez said.<\/p>\n
