MyShake

UC Berkeley’s Seismology Lab is turning seismic data into lifesaving insights—from real-time earthquake alerts to partnerships that help slow trains, open firehouse doors, and warn schools before shaking hits. news.berkeley.edu/2026/02/12/how…

Out now: BSL Director, Prof. Richard Allen, talks about the importance of research to public earthquake safety & explains how the Lab pushes research findings into action via @MyShakeApp and @USGS_ShakeAlert in partnership w/ @Cal_OES. View our story now at buff.ly/pmBe63b

Game day plans? 🏈 No matter who you’re rooting for, earthquake safety is always in season. If shaking starts: Drop, Cover, and Hold On Don’t run outside Don’t stand in doorways Know what to do before the shaking starts and make sure you have the MyShake app downloaded so you can get earthquake alerts and safety guidance when it matters most. Stay safe, stay informed, and enjoy the game.

Hi there, emergency alerts are sent out for earthquakes with a magnitude estimate of 4.5 and greater. The biggest one near San Ramon was M4.2 and the estimate at its max was 4.4- so no alert. The other ones have been smaller than that- there's just a lot of them. You should have gotten informational pop-up notifications for these earthquakes- if not, send us an email at myshake-info@berkeley.edu.

@MyShakeApp has been acting funky again. No alerts for the earthquake that I didn’t feel (again).

Take 1 Minute Pick something → secure it → test it → done ✔️ Earthquake readiness is built one small step at a time. Follow us every Thursday for a new safety tip! 📲 Bonus: Stay informed and download the MyShake app for earthquake early warning.

@dss358 Open the app, go to settings, and click "HomeBase Location"- you'll see a teal square. Don't worry if the teal square doesn't perfectly fit where you are- as long as it's in the ballpark, you'll get alerts for decent shaking from big earthquakes that affect that area.

@MyShakeApp How do I verify this?

📱MyShake Ready Monday! It’s Monday; a perfect time for a quick MyShake check-in. Take a moment today to open your app and make sure your homebase is verified so you never miss important updates. 🔔 Open MyShake 🔧 Verify your homebase 📲 Stay ready, stay informed.

Hello MyShakers near Indio, CA. Yes, it happened again (at approximately zero dark thirty)! If you are counting the number of earthquake early warning alerts, you’d correctly count 3 within the last 36 hours. Please continue to follow the protective actions. Thank you.
