MyShake is a free earthquake warning system utility developed by the UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory. It provides real-time alerts for seismic activity in California, Oregon, and Washington, specifically for earthquakes with magnitudes of 4.5 and higher. This application is designed to keep users informed about potential dangers, allowing them to take necessary precautions when significant earthquakes occur.

The app utilizes Homebase to set a default alert location for users, ensuring they receive timely notifications during damaging quakes. Users can customize alerts to monitor the safety of loved ones and contribute to scientific research by reporting their earthquake experiences. Additionally, MyShake is available in both English and Spanish, broadening its accessibility. While some feedback highlights issues with the alert tone's volume and the specificity of location data, the application remains a valuable tool for earthquake preparedness.
