Residents living on the West Coast don t know when the next earthquake will hit. But a new expansion of the U.S. earthquake early warning system gives 50 million people in California, Oregon â and now Washington â seconds to quickly get to safety whenever the next one hits.
As of 8 a.m. Tuesday, cellphone users in California, Oregon and Washington should receive a mobile alert from the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system when tremors are detected. Alerts are sent from the Federal Emergency Management Agency s Wireless Emergency Alert system, third-party phone apps and other technologies.
