Don't forget in Alaska, Robert.
Its quite easy to understand an areas threshold for being in risk of having a quake, the same cycles happen thousands of times each day, with more and more cycles happening each time. May be good for local information, to show what number you may be at risk in daily life. yw
Wtf this is old Japan and Mexico has this system for many years. All they had to do was pick up the phone and ask. Stop wasting tax money
That was crazy getting an alert just before it hit. They never announced this technology. It was a total surreal moment. I’m in Sonoma county, about 1/2 hr away from Santa Rosa.
FEAR FEAR FEAR!!!!!
usgs never tells the truth about the true sizemic, why is that?
Have had this on my Google Pixel phone for the last couple of years. It even showed up as a notification a few seconds before I felt it in Southern California. This should have been rolled out to everyone a while back, not just because I have a certain phone.
Usg bunch of lies
Follow Dutchsince if you want real earth quake forecaster lol you guys are just learning.lmao all this info is incorrect.
Dutch knows…
Dutchsense YouTube! Earthquake Genius. Earthquake King 🤴 😜 Use his method already USGS 😌
Seems like all this could have been summarized with "it works like a tornado warning" lol
Police don’t care
I used to live in Santa Rosa from 1982-1993
THANKS FOR SHARING.SHAKE ALERT IS A GAME CHANGER GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU FOR SAVING US
Very good and congratulations. However I firmly believe that the best pre alert system probably comes from the animals, birds and insects. Why not study all of Mother Earth living Beings and you'll probably have a lot longer than a few seconds. This takes decreasing human Arrogance
Good report
This alert systems seems to go through to many hands before the public are warned
Cut out the middleman and report direct to the people
Also this behavioural data assessment seems a little to invasive, just to tell people an earthquake is about to happen or could happen
Sorry but this system seems to be less effective than it should
Maybe less of the social science and more with the direct people reporting
Just an observation
IMO
a hacker dream
I felt the shaking and then the alert came on my phone seconds later.
Shake alert sounds like an advertisement for twerking
how about telling ppl how we can access shake alert…it not in my Google play store…#bayarea
It's funny how this is news in the third world country like America now Mexico has had this technology they got it from Japan. A cooler story is Mark West Creek which was almost dry started flowing after the earthquake that's more interesting not the fact that we're behind Mexico
any alert to save lives is a good alert
So you mean observation not prediction.
Can we rename this "the atlas system"
C'mon man…who tf you kidding 😂
You run when I tell you to. Try that in Nepal. Try it.
Sharks machines Utah's
so how much stock in the company does NBC own?
This kinda of topic dr. Robert sounds like Rick from Rick and morty
He should win a Noble Peace Prize
Save as many as you can.
Enact a system that promotes people to be driven away from those zones over the years and or decades.
keep the waters behind major dams at the lowest possible levels.
Keep the general public in the dark with all the tactics needed to not start an anarchic state.
Most import Earthquake training is having water. the Minimum is 5 gallons of water per person per day.
I'm 58 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, we are finding it impossible to replace it. We can get by, but cant seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 40years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for
Well, I live down town, and my phone went off half way through. I definitely knew what it was, already. Alert did not work!!!!!
I live in Mexico city we have the earthquake alert since 20 years ago. I can not believe US has not one.
Who puts their fingers in their ears from thunder? Usually it's a surprised/jump scare reaction when thunder rumbles 🫤
it's a shakeccess!
Instead of praying to sky fairies and worshiping moronic despot politicians people should at least be thanking scientist and doctors. They actual save your life and prevented your child from being crippled by polio or dead from a disease.
Jesus is coming soon please I beg you my friend to repent and repent
shake n' bake 😂
