An early warning system for California earthquakes could soon get a
much-needed dose of money, a state lawmaker announced today (Jan 28).
State Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima) introduced legislation to fund a California-wide earthquake early warning system
during a press conference at Caltech.
The technology for a warning
system already exists, through a prototype called the California
Integrated Seismic Network, but scientists need more money to take it
public. Other earthquake-prone countries with public warning systems
include Japan, Mexico, Taiwan and Turkey.
