You can survive an earthquake! Learn how!

The ShakeAlert® Earthquake Early Warning System for the West Coast of the United States aims to provide seconds to tens of seconds of early warning before earthquake shaking strikes. Public alerting powered by ShakeAlert® will be operational in the Pacific Northwest in spring 2021.

Also, learn how to evacuate with caution after shaking stops because a tsunami may be on its way.
