<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning GIS interested parties!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Please see information below regarding the new ShakeAlert application activation that is planned for Thursday, March 11<sup>th</sup>:<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:#333333">If the recent disasters that have impacted our state have taught us anything, it's that being prepared can make a big difference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:#333333">The <a href="https://www.shakealert.org/"><span lang="EN" style="color:#3344DD;background:white;text-decoration:none">USGS ShakeAlert® Earthquake Early Warning System</span></a> will
be activated in Oregon on March 11, 2021, a date that coincides with the 10th anniversary of the magnitude 9.1 Great Tohoku, Japan earthquake.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:#333333">ShakeAlert® uses science and technology to detect significant earthquakes quickly and sends a <b>real time alert</b> to people on compatible cell phones and other
mobile devices through text-like messages, and through apps as they become available. These important alerts come <b>automatically on most cell phones</b>, making a distinctive sound and displaying a text message that reads, “Earthquake Detected! Drop, Cover,
Hold On. Protect Yourself." This text message is also available in Spanish. Some mobile phones with text-to-voice capability may read out the message text.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:#333333">ShakeAlert does not predict when or where an earthquake will occur or how long it will last. It detects earthquakes that have already begun, offering seconds of advance
warning that allow people and systems to take actions to protect life and property from destructive shaking.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:#333333">ShakeAlert infrastructure is already in place along most of the West Coast and can be used to trigger automatic-action systems, such as slowing a train, water utility
valve shutoffs, opening fire station doors and starting back-up generators.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><b><span style="color:#333333">No sign up is required to receive ShakeAlert notifications, and no action needs to be taken other than enabling emergency alerts on your cell phone. To do this,
follow the directions below:</span></b><span style="color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:#333333">Check that Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are turned on. Mobile phones that have WEAs turned on are able to receive ShakeAlert Messages starting March 11, 2021. While
this setting may already be turned on in your settings on your mobile phone, please take the time to check.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
