The USGS ShakeAlert System now uses data from geodetic (GPS) sensors to improve its accuracy, reliability, and timeliness! Earthquake early warning is always improving.

We felt the event really well over in the Caltech Seismo Lab since it occurred roughly 4.5miles away from Caltech. Got enough attention to get a crowd in front of the waveform displays down the hall!

The National Earthquake Information Center reports this data and is part of the Geologic Hazards Science Center located in Golden, #Colorado on the Colorado School of Mines campus. Hoping all are safe post-earthquake! x.com/usgs_shakealer…

Happy #FieldWorkFriday! OHAZ field technicians are installing a new seismic station near Mount Jefferson called BPO. BPO is in the PNSN seismic network and collects real-time ground motion data for regional monitoring and the USGS ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning System.

California Geological Survey's Sr. Engineering Geologist Brian Olson recently spoke to a full house Earthquake Country Alliance's SoCal meeting in Chino on the #Ridgecrest science response & presented useful findings from both CGS & USGS Earthquakes. conservation.ca.gov/cgs/sh

The national Earthquake Early Warning system is operating in B.C.! Learn more about this system and how it works: ow.ly/KUp150TafGp

Although Canada's national Earthquake Early Warning system is distinct from USGS ShakeAlert, both #ShakeAlert and Canada #EEW share data, algorithms, and public safety information. Earthquakes know no borders, so this is an ideal example of international collaboration!

Post-quake mobilization and response is vital when preparing for the next #earthquake. SCEC and its partners learn from earthquakes to prepare for the next ones. See how and more at SCEC.org/prepare.
