• LPT Request: What is an app that everyone should have on their phone?

  Anyone on the west coast should have the My Shake app. Depending on where you're at in relation to an earthquake, you can get a few minutes notice of any shaking. It's only available on US west coast for now. It'sMy Shake App a dual project from USGS and UC Berkeley. Source: about 1 year ago

• [ios] [Sismo Earthquake Monitor] [$2.99->Free]

  The fact that this is created by an ad agency is concerning. I would stick with MyShake, created by UC Berkeley, an academic institution: https://myshake.berkeley.edu/. You are necessarily giving a lot of location data away by having earthquake monitoring. Source: over 1 year ago

• In 2019, after a 6.4 quake happened 150 miles away from LA, residents of that city were concerned they did NOT get an alert on their phones, even though the shaking was barely felt there. Maybe that's why the entire Bay Area was woken up at 2:30 am?

  How would you even know? You asked all your friends if they installed it? Plenty of people have installed the MyShake ios/android app https://myshake.berkeley.edu/ . See all the comments in the other thread that people got the MyShake alert. Source: over 1 year ago

• Calculating earthquake global travel times?

  MyShake has been giving me alerts on larger global earthquakes and I've been bringing up my local seismograms to watch them come in, sometimes several minutes (20+) later. Is there an simple way to calculate the approximate times one will show up on local seismograms based on how many miles away? Source: over 3 years ago
