Don’t Let Earthquakes Catch You Off Guard -- Sign up for Free Earthquake Warnings

Earthquake Warning California is managed by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and is the country’s first publicly available, statewide warning system. The warning system is designed to give California residents a few moments warning to take cover before shaking occurs.

To receive earthquake warnings, Californians can download the free MyShake App, which is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play store.

To learn more about Earthquake Warning California or for industry/business resources to help spread the word with your employees, customers, and the public, visit earthquake.ca.gov.
