But what's been barely reported is that Google was operating an earthquake early warning system in the country. The company claims it sent out millions of warnings before the quake hit.
But BBC teams in Turkey and Silicon Valley can't find evidence that this warning was widely received by people in the earthquake zone.
In this special report for BBC Newsnight, Anna Foster is in Turkey and James Clayton is in San Francisco.

I am from Adana, i have recieved the alert but 1-2 minutes AFTER the earthquake, while we were evacuating the building. I had both wifi and cellular the whole time

I was researching the subject myself. No one was warned about the first earthquake. Many people, including myself, received warnings in the second earthquake. The first possibility is of course internet outages. But I have data that the internet and network access is not cut off immediately. Here the system is not working. I think Google is committing a crime by advertising with a system that does not work.

So, you're asking if technology made by one of the greediest, most shameless & wreckless companies in the world should have worked?

Fantastic reporting. Thank you, BBC.

Nah, every country should prepare its own emergency alarm system, don't blame private companies .

I was at Hatay during the earthquake and was fully awake before it. I was on social media. (writing a comment on Instagram) My phone was in my hand, i had wifi and cellular connection. I had my GPS turned on on a %100 Google supported Xiaomi phone. And i didnt get any warning at all. It just didnt work.

This may improve as satellite internet matures with less dependence on communication systems that fail during earthquakes.

Internet providers toggle down their internet coverage at night as I have noticed this while doing speed checks at night.

I had to configure my phone in order for it to work. I had no idea that this service was even on my phone until I watched this BBC video.

- Citizens did not receive any warning in a series of earthquakes that occurred on February 6 in Turkey.
- In the following days, the earthquakes continued, but the telephones were not networked.!!!
- Even clocks stopped in earthquake zones and some surrounding cities.!!!! (I know what I'm saying.)

I have seen many people like Micah Berman throughout my professional career but I didn’t expect to see one as a Google employee.

As a person who was in the epicenter of the February 6th Earthquakes, in Kahramanmaraş city center - I can say that we didn’t receive any earthquake alert. I, as an iPhone user, can understand that I didn’t receive a notification and I can’t blame Google for that. But I live with my family, that night I was sleeping in the same room with my mom, who is an android user, I would definitely hear such a loud notification - Or my brother’s android phone. There was no notification in the first earthquake. For the second earthquake, there was no notification but this time there was no way of communication in Kahramanmaraş since the mobile providers stopped working - as a consequence of this reason, couldn’t able to get any notification again. I really want to thank BBC for creating such a content and questioning the system.

I swear that guy at Google knew more about it then he was letting on about the reliability of their earthquake warning service, Look at the face expressions he is pulling, It says it all really, What they have done is criminal, And people should really sue them over this!!! That idea of having phones detect earthquakes was doomed from the start anyway, Phones aren't stationary because they are on the move with people all the time, Which causes vibrations... Investment would be better put towards the system like Japan and other Asian countries as well as California and Mexico where the sensors are in the ground, Not making phony phone features that just take your personal data to sell!!!

My brother living in the middle region of Turkey said that I got the warning from google a bit before the earthquake happened in daytime but interestingly I didn’t have any alert message
|
A shallow Magnitude 4.3 earthquake struck under land 10 kilometer from Dhaka in Bangladesh in the early morning of Friday May 5th, 2023.
I got the Google alert tune .
I was surprised what happened in my mobile phone.
After that I was happy for getting the smart alert system.

I have an Android phone (I am based in Islamabad, that sees earthquakes quite often) but I have never received this alert but many of the people I know do.
|
If people had received an alert it would have been all over twitter and YouTube at the time. Turkish people were all over the internet at this time talking about all aspects of the earthquake.
|
I am not convinced with googles response.

Don't depend on private sector always. Nations should start their own public service on earthquake warning.
