There’s a lot of talk about Seattle’s earthquake risk as Turkey endures disaster. We have a non-zero chance of a major quake in our lifetime in this part of the country. We also have a volunteer network working VERY hard to train people to help each other stay informed and safe when it hits. Meet the Seattle Hub Network: https://crosscut.com/environment/2021/10/disaster-preparedness-takes-center-stage-seattle-volunteer-group

Congrats to everyone who has worked on developing the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system in recent years. With Tuesday's M6.4 earthquake in California, the “system is doing exactly what it should be," Robert de Groot of the USGS ShakeAlert team tells the L.A. Times.
Most of the 3 million people notified on Tuesday were Google/Android users where ShakeAlert is preprogrammed into phones.
