What would you do with seconds to prepare for earthquake shaking? With even a few seconds, the ShakeAlert® Earthquake Early Warning can save lives and reduce injuries by alerting people that an earthquake may cause shaking near you as it triggers automated actions.

On March 11, 2011, a devastating magnitude-9 earthquake struck off the coast of Tohoku, Japan, where the Pacific Plate dives beneath the Okhotsk Plate. On January 26th, 1700, the West Coast of the United States experienced a similar tsunami-generating megathrust earthquake. An earthquake like this will strike the Cascadia subduction zone again. How can we protect ourselves?

In this activity triad, learners explore compression patterns using spring-like devices while learning about processes seen at the Juan de Fuca and North American subduction zone. The 5-minute activity introduces students to a conceptual understanding of the effect of distance on ground deformation at this boundary, while the 30 and 60 minute activities move to data analysis experiences.

El 11 de marzo del 2011, un devastador terremoto de magnitud 9 sacudió la costa de Tohoku, Japón. El 26 de Enero del año 1700, la Costa Oeste de los Estados Unidos experimentó un mega terremoto generador de tsunami similar. Un terremoto como este estremecerá nuevamente la zona de subducción de Cascadia, impactando toda la Costa Oeste.

The ShakeAlert® Earthquake Early Warning System for the West Coast of the United States aims to provide seconds to tens of seconds of early warning before earthquake shaking strikes. ShakeAlert® is not earthquake prediction, but quickly detects the first arriving seismic wave to provide an alert before more damaging seismic shaking arrives at your location.
