Mobile phones have become the most used communication device by the population in any country, including Spain. Estop makes it very easy to talk to anyone at any time, but it also serves to notify the population of different emergencies, as seen in the recent DANA in Valencia.
The notices from the Spanish government do not depend on the mobile phone we have, but there are brands that, in addition to allowing the reception of these messages, also They have implemented other systems that complement the government ones for extreme cases, such as earthquakes.
Samsung is one of those brands, and within One UI, its interface, it has a category in the settings of your devices that allow you to configure the type of notifications we want to receive in the event of an emergency. They are also in other mobile brands, such as Google’s Pixel.
To access these settings you have to go to the mobile interface and look for a section called Security and Emergency. In it there are nine subsections in which we can configure all types of notices, each one related to a type of emergency, some more serious than others.
For example, it is possible to put our medical data so that they appear on the lock screen and if we have an accident, someone will see them even if they cannot unlock our smartphone. The same can be done with the emergency contact.

Sharing in an emergency makes The mobile takes photos and records audio and sends them directly to the contacts we have assigned. This is especially useful if we usually go out for walks in open and remote places, or if we are in a dangerous situation.
There are also wireless emergency alertswhich are controlled by Civil Protection in our country. To these are added the earthquake alerts and even for device tracking that we carry around without knowing it. This is something that Google included a year ago with the popularization of AirTags and the like.
