Did you get an alert before today’s earthquake? That’s early warning tech in action. Caltech researchers have helped shape the science behind these systems designed to give you a heads-up to take action. #CaltechScienceExchange

How Do Earthquake Early Warning Systems Work?
Earthquake early warning systems don’t predict earthquakes. Instead, they detect ground motion as soon as an earthquake begins and send alerts that a tremor is on its way.
