Earthquake Alerts refer to notifications or warnings issued to inform individuals and communities about the occurrence of an earthquake or potential seismic activity. These alerts are typically generated by seismic monitoring networks and are designed to provide real-time information about the magnitude, location, and depth of an earthquake. The primary purpose of earthquake alerts is to enhance public safety by giving people a brief warning before the shaking starts, allowing them to take protective actions, such as seeking cover or moving away from potential hazards. Earthquake alert systems can be disseminated through various channels, including mobile apps, text messages, emergency notification systems, and broadcast media. The effectiveness of these alerts depends on rapid detection and communication of the earthquake’s characteristics to the public, ultimately aiming to minimize injuries and damage during seismic events.
