What is an app that you use to get alerts about disasters in your area?
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake reported off Northern California coast, tsunami warning canceled – ABC News, yesterday.
There have been no reported deaths, but the damage could have been significant if the tsunami had it. This is similar to what happened in Japan in 2011, but in that instance, the earthquake was followed by a tsunami.
ShakeAlert® is an earthquake early warning (EEW) system operated by the USGS. This system distributes ShakeAlert® messages to Earthquake Warning California tools such as the MyShake App, Android Earthquake Alerts, and WEA.
In Japan, the Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) (緊急地震速報, Kinkyū Jishin Sokuhō) is a warning issued when an earthquake is detected by multiple seismometers. These warnings are primarily issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), with guidance on how to react to them.
