MyShake is a free and comprehensive earthquake program that provides the following features:
Early Warnings of Earthquakes
In California, Oregon, and Washington, you will receive timely early warning alerts that have the potential to save your life. MyShake employs the USGS ShakeAlertTM system to transmit alerts for earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 (or greater) several seconds prior to the onset of trembling.
Preparedness for Earthquakes
View safety recommendations for earthquake preparedness, including the establishment of a disaster plan and the protection of hazardous or moveable items. Familiarise yourself with the principles of Drop, Cover, and Hold On during an earthquake.
Map and Specifications of Earthquakes
View and investigate a global earthquake map to obtain comprehensive information, including the magnitude, location, and profundity of the earthquake. Share your personal experience of an earthquake and review community reports of damage and trembling.
Notifications Regarding Earthquakes
Receive notifications on your mobile device to remain informed about earthquakes as they occur. Choose the regions of interest and the magnitude of the earthquake. You will never be deprived of an earthquake with a magnitude larger than 3.5!
Global Seismic Network Based on Smartphones
Engage in a global seismic network that is powered by smartphones. In this research endeavor, your phone functions as a miniature seismometer, aiding in the identification of earthquakes regardless of your location. Even in the absence of conventional seismic networks, this global citizen-science-based seismic network has the potential to provide early warning earthquake alerts in every region of the globe.
