MyShake earthquake warning app now available in WA
Every second matters before an earthquake strikes, and some Washington residents might get a few more now that a new earthquake-warning app is available.
In Washington, there are already two warning systems in place, but the MyShake app provides a third and possibly quicker option, the state said. The app, first launched in 2019, sends alerts in California and Oregon. It became available in Washington on Wednesday.
The MyShake app can be downloaded for free through the Apple or Google Play app stores.
Residents in Seattle, Tacoma and other cities along Puget Sound could get up to a minute鈥檚 warning should a shift in the Cascadia Subduction Zone cause a massive offshore quake.
