Uses of the Myshake App in Earthquake Early Warning and Rapid Response
Description:
MyShake is a free citizen science smartphone app which has been downloaded globally 2.3 million times. Most of the downloads originate in the western US, where MyShake has been serving as a delivery service for earthquake early warnings produced by ShakeAlert since October 2019. In addition to serving earthquake warnings and educational information, MyShake also collects data for research, including waveforms recorded on the accelerometers in-built in smartphones, real-time triggering and latency information, and crowd-sourced experience reports. We present an overview of the array of MyShake’s capabilities, including its effectiveness as a warning delivery service, its potential to contribute to the generation of early warnings using real-time STA/LTA triggers, and rapid response products that estimate shaking intensities and structural response.
