E early warning systems use earthquake science and the technology of monitoring systems to alert devices and people when shaking waves generated by an earthquake are expected to arrive at their location. The seconds to minutes of advance warning can allow people and systems to take actions to protect life and property from destructive shaking. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) in collaboration with several partners has been working to develop an early warning system for the United States. ShakeAlert, a demonstration system currently under development, is designed to cover the West Coast States of California, Oregon, and Washington. Earthquakes pose a serious risk to our Nation. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), 77 percent of that risk, or an average annual loss of $4.1 billion, is concentrated on the West Coast in California, Oregon, and Washington (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2008). Growing urbanization and increasing reliance on complex infrastructure for power, water, telecommunication, and transportation magnify that risk. An earthquake early warning system that can rapidly detect earthquakes and send alerts could prompt actions to protect life and property before strong shaking arrives. Development of such a system is a critical step toward offsetting physical risks, improving public understanding of earthquake hazards, and reducing fear of the unknown and unpredictable nature of earthquakes. How Do Earthquakes and Early Warning Systems Work?
