Sen. Dodd: Get Your Earthquake Early Warning App

In California, it’s not a question of if there will be another earthquake. It’s a question of when. Now, scientists have a way to better pinpoint that and give you an early warning notification on your phone.

Hello, I’m Senator Bill Dodd. The new My Shake app, developed at UC Berkeley, is a major advancement in seismic safety.

It taps into a statewide network of earthquake sensors and sends an alert when the ground starts to shake. Depending on how far you are from the epi-center, you could receive the warning crucial seconds before the quake hits.

Even a short warning can help safeguard your family, giving them valuable time to stop tasks that make them vulnerable and take cover. It can save lives.
