Helped me

This app works. It warned me multiple times when an earthquake was about to happen in California.

No alerta

Hoy tembló en san Leandro 3.8 y yo tengo configurada el app para alertas desde temblores de 2.5 grados en adelante y la app no emitió ninguna alerta.

No Alert: 8/13/2026

I was 3 miles from recent earthquake this morning but MyShake never sent an alert.

Does not alert anymore

This all used to be my go to, but now it doesn’t even alert me literally until I open the app. I’m right on a fault line and really rely on something to notify me moments before for the safety of my family. I don’t know what’s changed, but I have an IPhone 16 with the most updated software and I’ve noticed it’s stopped being useful once I upgraded my phone. I’ve had to download other apps in replacement of MyShake.

FAQ

What does the MyShake app do?

MyShake provides earthquake early warnings for California, Oregon, and Washington using the USGS ShakeAlert system. It also offers earthquake safety tips, a global earthquake map with detailed information, and notifications for earthquakes based on your selected regions and magnitude.

How does the early warning system work?

The app utilizes the USGS ShakeAlert system to deliver alerts for earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 or greater. These alerts are received several seconds before shaking arrives, giving users time to take protective actions.

Is MyShake free to use?

Yes, MyShake is completely free to use with no ads or subscription fees. It is developed by the University of California, Berkeley, Seismology Lab and funded by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.

What kind of information can I find on the earthquake map?

The earthquake map allows you to view and explore earthquakes around the world. You can get detailed information such as the earthquake's magnitude, location, and depth. You can also share your own earthquake experiences and see community reports of shaking and damage.

Can my phone contribute to earthquake detection?

Yes, by participating in the smartphone-based global seismic network, your phone acts as a mini-seismometer. This citizen-science initiative contributes to the detection of earthquakes globally and has the potential to provide early warning alerts even in regions without traditional seismic networks.
