The first alert made the phones vibrate (or people touching them), which got falsely detected as an earthquake.

Yes, and they sent a notification apparently after the detection. That is not a warning system

Earthquake early warning only works because the internet is faster than seismic waves. It only works for people who are far enough from the epicenter.
