The VP Engineering for Android posted a visualization of the 4.5 earthquake in Southern California from data collected by Android phones. https://twitter.com/davey_burke/status/1307395583338885120 USGS ShakeAlert is transmitted via WEA to Android, iPhone and other cellular devices; and shared directly with some public-private partners. Most smart devices (Android, iPhone) collect diagnostic logs and report back to their developers, but generally emergency responders never see data from diagnostic reports. Developers don't include emergency alerts in other "smart" devices like SmartTVs, SmartSpeakers, etc.
