Wash. Earthquake Warning System Launches With Limitations
Washington is rolling out technology that will send residents a warning about earthquakes up to a minute before impact, but the warnings may not reach everyone until the state invests more in the notification system.

Shutterstock (TNS) One of the most terrifying things about earthquakes is the way they strike without warning. That s going to change just a tiny bit in Washington beginning Tuesday.
For the first time, residents will be able to get alerts on their cellphones seconds before the ground under their feet starts shaking enough time, hopefully, to get to a safe spot and avoid injury.

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.
