Imagine that this is a normal Friday afternoon. You get out of your office window to see the bright colors of sunsets. What you do not see is 131 miles below sea level, a heavy earthquake sends its first wave.
This quick moving, non-harmful "P-wave" has been detected by a sensor managed by the USGS. This data is instantly sent to the earthquake warning center where the location and size of the earthquake are determined.
Slow, more harmful S-waves are about to come. Within a few seconds you receive a notification on your phone.
In that 20 seconds you are able to land on the floor, crawl under your desk, and catch it. As soon as the building starts moving, you see a big piece of artwork falling on the chair directly from the wall where you sat.
Thanks to the QuakeAlert app, you have a great deal of injury, and there is peace of mind that you will be ready for the next.
