“Building out ShakeAlert in Nevada pursues the original program goal of expansion across high-risk areas of the western states.” “Protecting lives is at the core of the USGS mission,” USGS ShakeAlert Operations Lead for Technical Engagement Robert de Groot said.

“It is exciting to partner with the Nevada Seismological Laboratory and its partners to develop a plan that broadens and expands the use of ShakeAlert earthquake early warning by people and institutions as a tool of risk reduction so all can live safely and thrive in earthquake country.” Most content submitted to is covered under Creative Commons license
