MyShake is an earthquake early warning application that will provide users outside of the immediate earthquake zone about 10-20 seconds of notice before strong shaking arrives from magnitude 4.5 or greater earthquakes.
Android phones with updated operating systems are automatically subscribed to Android Earthquake Alerts, which uses the same technology as the MyShake App.
SMC ALERT is an alert notification system used to immediately contact you during urgent or emergency situations. You can set alerts to send emergency and non-emergency text and voice messages to your:
email accounts
cell phones, smartphones, tablets
