Nevada is one step closer to having @USGS_ShakeAlert earthquake early warning

Earthquake Roundup for Nov 14, 2025 to Jan 11, 2026. We had a few good shakes in Susanville, Midas, and Yerington and a false alarm in Carson City. Learn more in our Roundup Reel: tinyurl.com/4yvkssxd

@LibertyUtil_CA is sponsoring several fire cameras in the Tahoe Basin. Camera maintenance is expensive, and the support from Liberty Utilities will help keep the cameras around the Jewel of the Sierra operating to protect those communities. unr.edu/nevada-today/n…

Events like this underscore the importance of adding Nevada to the ShakeAlert program to ensure we can provide the fastest and most accurate earthquake alerts for Nevadans.

The warning for an M5.9 earthquake near Dayton, NV this morning was an incorrect alert issued by the USGS ShakeAlert program. None of the stations in the Nevada Seismological Laboratory network detected any large earthquakes in Nevada this morning.

Many of our fire cameras and seismic stations in remote locations use solar power and line-of-site microwave radio communication. For #FieldWorkFriday we have a picture from the team's upgrade of the solar panel frame at Sage Hen. See the camera feed at alertwildfire.org/?currentFireca…

NV Energy’s Power Safe NV team partnered up with @unevadareno / @UNRScience's Seismology Lab to install a new wildfire camera on top our South Reno building - one of many installed through our ongoing collaboration. These cameras provide early wildfire detection, helping agencies respond quickly and effectively. 🎥 You can view this camera — along with others across Nevada — at AlertWildfire.org or on the Watch Duty app and website at watchduty.org. #PowerSafeNV - @NVEarthquakes

@CoyLadyKorso As of about 20 minutes ago there were still watches and advisories for parts of Alaska. Up to date information available here: tsunami.gov

@NVSeismoLab Wasn't the one for Alaska cancelled?

This massive earthquake, now reported at 8.8 has prompted a tsunami warning in Hawaii and western Alaska and tsunami watch or advisory along the west cost of the US and most of the Alaska coast. “Warning” means move inland! “Watch” means stay out of water and away from beaches.

We recently revamped our fire camera live streaming website, ALERTWildfire.org! Check out the improved website and for a quick tour on how to use the features, check out this post on our Instagram at tinyurl.com/mweh2vjk
