MyShake Earthquake Early Warning app is now available in WA state

Washington residents now have an additional way to receive seconds of warning before earthquake shaking arrives, giving them time to drop, cover and hold on to protect themselves. 

The MyShake App is available, for FREE download, in Washington as of Jan. 26, 2022. The MyShake App is funded by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). Officials with the Washington Emergency Management Division worked with Cal OES experts to ensure that the app has additional protective action information for tsunamis before being rolled out in Washington state. Users can learn more about the different options available at mil.wa.gov/alerts.
