Since launching in 2021, our Android Earthquake Alerts System has sent 1B+ alerts. Now we’re expanding the system from 98 to nearly 200 countries and regions.
Proud how this technology can help in moments that really matter. As one example, when the devastating earthquakes hit Venezuela this year, millions of people outside the epicenter got alerts and could take cover before the shaking began.

Today we used @MyShakeApp to investigate how to interpret seismographs! And apparently a selfie I the teacher’s to celebrate of course 🙃 #geology #earthquakes

Did you feel that? While tonight’s earthquake wasn’t big enough to trigger a Shake Alert notification, the next tremor could be around the corner.
Take action to stay safe today by downloading California’s first in the nation earthquake early warning smartphone app @MyShakeApp – at Sacramento, CA
An earthquake has just hit the Bay Area. The 4.2 magnitude quake had an epicenter in Ashland, a community in Alameda County near Castro Valley.

Thanks to @Cal_OES support, MyShake has issued alerts to most of California in the first 18 months of operation. See the map for a look into the areas that were alerted 👀

October 15 is #ShakeOut! Gov Newsom & @Cal_OES are calling on all Californians to participate. It's important & simple! Make sure you know what to do when an earthquake strikes and get alerts by downloading the #MyShake app. Learn more at: earthquake.ca.gov. @CAgovernor

@CAgovernor Newsom reminds all Californians to download and install the "My Shake" earthquake early warning app, after today's quake near Lone Pine. If you don’t have the app, find out more here: earthquake.ca.gov/mobile-app…
