ShakeAlert will warn of earthquakes March 11 2021
A new ShakeAlert notification system for earthquakes is going live in Oregon on Thursday morning.
The system can detect significant earthquakes quickly and send a real-time alert to your phone before the shaking reaches you.
ShakeAlert does not predict earthquakes or how long they will last but it does offer advance warning about quakes that have already started. The system will continue to monitor the shaking until it stops. You may get more than one of these alerts if it is a large earthquake and continues to grow, said Althea Rizzo of the Oregon Office of Emergency Management.
