Been using MyShake Earthquake Alerts for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that sends you early warnings if a big earthquake is about to hit your area. Pretty solid if you live in California, Oregon or Washington and want to get a heads up before the shaking starts.
Here’s what you can do – it uses the USGS ShakeAlert system to detect quakes and send you alerts, usually a few seconds before you actually feel the shaking. And there’s also a bunch of earthquake safety tips and info, which is pretty useful. And you can even get alerts for smaller quakes, not just the big ones.
Look, if you’re worried about earthquakes or just want to be prepared, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – sometimes the alerts are a little delayed and the safety tips can be a bit basic. But overall it does the job and it’s free, so worth checking out.
