LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The ShakeAlertLA app will stop issuing earthquake warnings after Dec. 31, and it was announced today that people can download a statewide app that builds on the Los Angeles app.
According to Mayor Eric Garcetti s office, ShakeAlertLA was developed with innovative software to alert residents when earthquakes reach a magnitude of 4.5 or higher, personal privacy protections and communication methods. The statewide app, MyShake, builds on these techniques, Garcetti said.
“Los Angeles leads the nation in earthquake resilience, and ShakeAlertLA showed how we can harness technology to provide critical warning before an earthquake hits, Garcetti said in a statement. “The next `big one is not a matter of if, but when, and we can all do our part to stay prepared, resilient and a few seconds ahead of the game by downloading the MyShake app now.
