SALEM, Ore. (AP) People in Oregon will be better prepared for earthquakes particularly important in the Pacific Northwest because experts say “the big one” is coming as an early warning system launched Thursday, the 10th anniversary of a devastating quake and tsunami in Japan.

The ShakeAlert system operated by the U.S. Geological Survey uses seismographic sensors to detect significant earthquakes quickly so alerts reach smartphones and people can seek cover before the shaking starts.
