Earthquake alerts are notifications that inform people about the occurrence of an earthquake or the potential for one to happen. These alerts are generated by monitoring systems that detect seismic activity and analyze data from various sensors. The goal is to provide timely warnings to help individuals and communities prepare for the shaking and potential damage. There are different types of earthquake alert systems, including those that send messages to smartphones and public alert systems that broadcast warnings through sirens or radio. These alerts can give people crucial seconds to take cover or evacuate, potentially saving lives and reducing injuries during an earthquake.
