The Dhaka Times Desk Originally, Google launched the Earthquake Alert System in 2020. In this new system, if there is an earthquake in your vicinity, you will be alerted through a notification.
Although initially launched in the United States, earthquake warnings are currently in use in various countries including Bangladesh. The Earthquake Alert System basically sends earthquake warnings by monitoring surface vibrations. It provides information on the source and magnitude of earthquakes as well as safety advice. If you want to use the Android Earthquake alert system, you can also know the detailed information about the earthquake.
Do you know how to receive this notification? Many people do not know the method well. It is important to inform the matter because you do not know. Because even though the earthquake warning is a small matter, many positive things can be done in this way.
How to Activate the Earthquake Alert System
Step 1: First, go to the 'Safety and Emergency' option in the smartphone settings. Then select 'Earthquake Alerts' from there.
Step 2: From the next page, turn on the Earthquake Alerts toggle.
Step 3: Then scroll down and tap on 'See a demo' to test the warning.
Step 4: Tap on the 'Learn Earthquake Safety Tips' option and you will get advice on how to stay safe during an earthquake. It can be seen.
How does Google provide warnings?
Basically, Google utilizes the accelerometer sensor available on Android smartphones of users. Accelerometers can also detect primary 'P' waves or surface tremors as earthquakes occur. If the Android Earthquake alert system is turned on, the smartphone sends that information to Google's servers as soon as the earth tremors are detected.
After analyzing the data sent from various smartphones, it also sends warnings called 'Be aware' and 'Take action' to the users after understanding the magnitude of the earthquake. Usually you can get a 'Be aware' message when there is an earthquake of magnitude 4.5. At this time, Google provides information on the possible origin of the earthquake and also provides various advice on staying safe. And if the magnitude of the earthquake is more than 4.5 on the Richter scale, then a 'take action' notification is sent. An alarm will automatically start ringing on your phone. Google will chase you first to get to a safe place. At least with the help of technology there is no chance to panic. Google will also give you necessary suggestions.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
