Listos California launched a new campaign “Drop Cover Hold On. Seconds Save Lives in Earthquakes.” This campaign contains practical, approachable tips for how to best prepare communities for earthquakes, empowering us all to take collective action to get ready for unpredictable disasters together into their local networks to prepare for emergencies together.
Earthquake Warning California is the country’s first publicly available, statewide warning system that could give California residents crucial seconds to take cover before you feel shaking. Managed by the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), Earthquake Warning California uses ground motion sensors from across the state to detect earthquakes before humans can feel them and can notify Californians to “Drop, Cover and Hold On” in advance of an earthquake.
