Earthquake Early Warning App - Even seconds of warning can be invaluable giving people enough time to Drop, Cover, and Hold On ahead of an earthquake - ultimately decreasing injury through this early warning notification.

Prepare

Prepare an emergency kit with at least a 72-hours supply of food and water, along with other supplies including a flashlight, portable battery-operated radio, batteries, medicines, first aid kit, money, and clothing.
Plan to be safe by creating a disaster plan and deciding how you will communicate in an emergency.
Organize disaster supplies in convenient locations.
Know the safe spots in each room – under sturdy tables, desks, or against interior walls.
Know at least two exit routes from your neighborhood, or any building you are in, in case of emergency.
Know the danger spots – near windows, mirrors, hanging objects, fireplaces and tall, unsecured furniture.
Decide how and where your family will reunite if separated during an earthquake.
Secure your space by identifying and fixing hazards, indoors as well as any weaknesses in the building, and securing moveable items.
