The earthquake early warning system ‘ShakeAlert’ will be capable of delivering alerts directly to wireless devices

OREGON – The earthquake warning system will be capable of delivering alerts in Oregon on March 11 and to Washington state in May.
The ShakeAlert system has been enabled in California since October 2019.
According to the statement, the system uses a network of sensors that detect the start of an earthquake and calculates magnitude, location and the expected amount of shaking.
It sends the information in real time to distributors that send out alerts to cellphones and the internet.
The information moves so quickly that people may have valuable seconds to protect themselves before shaking arrives, trains can be slowed or industrial processes stopped.
