ShakeAlert earthquake warning app will be available to the public in Washington late next year
ShakeAlert, the warning system that alerts you to how many seconds you have before earthquake shaking reaches you, will be available to the public in the Pacific Northwest in a year.
ShakeAlert was developed by research universities in California, Oregon and the University of Washington, along with the U.S. Geological Survey.
The technology is meant to send people a warning on their mobile devices, or computers even. How much warning you get depends on how far away you are from where the earthquake started.
In some cases, you may only get a few seconds of warning, in others a minute or more. But even a few seconds of warning could be enough to get under a table or away from windows.
