The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services says earthquake early warning alerts will become publicly available statewide starting Thursday October, 17th 2019
The state earthquake app is called MyShake. It’s available for download to IOS users through iTunes and through GooglePlay stores for Android phones.
The warnings produced by the ShakeAlert system will be pushed through a smartphone app and the same wireless notification system that issues Amber Alerts.
The system detects the start of an earthquake and calculates location, intensity and alerts areas where shaking is likely to occur.
The system’s statewide debut coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake that ravaged the San Francisco Bay area on Oct. 17, 1989, as well as Thursday’s annual Great Shakeout drill.
