People across California now have access to an earthquake early warning system. Governor Gavin Newsom launched the statewide system on the 30th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake, this last October 17th. This new system uses a network of seismic sensors that deliver a warning through a smartphone app. It’s not a big warning, but it could give you a few extra seconds to “duck, cover, and hold.”
