Earthquake Early Warning for All: Powering the Western United States with ShakeAlert

Featuring Robert de Groot, U.S.G.S.

As populations grow and concentrate in ever-expanding urban areas, the importance of early warning systems grows as well. Earthquakes present a unique opportunity to leverage existing science and technology to make a real difference to those living in earthquake country.

The ShakeAlert® Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) System, managed by the U.S. Geological Survey, detects significant earthquakes so quickly that alerts can be delivered to people and automated systems potentially seconds before strong shaking arrives. ShakeAlert is the nation’s only

public EEW system and it serves over 50 million residents and visitors in California, Oregon, and Washington.

In this session, special guest speaker, Dr. Robert de Groot, will walk us through how the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning System positively impacts public safety and earthquake preparedness.

This informative webinar and Q&A session will focus on the science and technology of ShakeAlert and how it is being used to reduce the impact of earthquakes to save lives and property.
