At 5:12am on April 18, 1906, a massive #earthquake shook San Francisco, CA. The earthquake ignited several fires that burned for three days and destroyed nearly 500 city blocks.

Today we commemorate 118 years of #seismic discovery, research, and resilience.

If you are curious on the 'why' of this, USGS earthquake alerts are automated in the USGS ShakeAlert zones of the West Coast. The system isn't built out for other parts of the country at this point. The alert the east coast sent was from emergency management.

We appreciate the hard work of the #ShakeAlert field technicians who always keep your West Coast #EEW system in tip top working order. Thank you! PNSN California Governor's Office of Emergency Services Berkeley Seismo Lab Caltech Seismo Lab #EarthquakeWarningCA California Geological Survey

For anyone wondering - why did #earthquake advice change away from doorways?

- You have to get up and move to them which is dangerous during shaking
- Doorways can only really fit 1 person
- Doorways are not structurally stronger than other parts of a building
