Why didn't I receive the earthquake alert on my Android device during the strong earthquake in Colombia?

Following a strong earthquake in Colombia, users raised questions regarding why built-in Android earthquake alert systems failed to deliver advance warnings of seismic waves. While these integrated mobile tools are designed to provide seconds of notice prior to an earthquake's arrival, their performance during the recent event in Colombia prompted public inquiry.

Simultaneously in Central America, the Honduran government expanded its red alert for drought conditions to 103 of the country's 298 municipalities. Driven by the El Niño phenomenon, the severe water scarcity has impacted both agricultural crops and livestock across the affected regions.
