We currently don't offer the ability to tune alerts (but we do consider every suggestion that we get and this does come up with these early morning quakes). Just to confirm, you did the right thing staying in bed and by not hanging any sharp and pointy valuables there as well.

Those were for two different earthquakes. Critical alerts were issued for the first earthquake as the magnitude exceeded 4.5 and then another earthquake happened after that was 3.1. No alert was issued for the magnitude 3.1- it's fairly small so you got an after-the-fact notification for that one.

MyShake @myshakeapp.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

It uses the @ShakeAlert EEW system, which detects the earthquake and then estimates where and how strong the shaking will be. MyShake sends alerts to areas where strong shaking is expected.

MyShake @myshakeapp.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

MyShake delivers EEW (earthquake early warning) alerts, giving you a few seconds of warning before shaking starts. It’s supported by @Cal_OES and is the official EEW app for California.

Hi ari, earthquake alerts are critical emergency alerts such that they go through do-not-disturb/silent settings. Alerts will have audio telling you to "Drop, Cover, and Hold On". If you felt the earthquake and didn't get an alert, you might have been outside the alerting region/MMI 3 contour

100

MyShake @myshakeapp.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Hi Mike, alerts are critical and high priority such that they punch through silent mode and do-not-disturb. Your location (or last transmitted location) might have been outside of the alerting area which is the MMI 3 zone in the attached image. Contact us at myshake-info@berkeley.edu if not.

100

MyShake @myshakeapp.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Hi Pinole Community Radio, if you are very close to the epicenter, the earthquake shaking will get to you before the alert does. The current earthquake location sets it by Oakland/Berkeley so if you were in Pinole at the time, it's likely some other reason- possibly cell service.

MyShake @myshakeapp.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Hi there, send us an email at myshake-info@berkeley.edu. You'll get directions on sending us debug info- the debug info is the best way for us to determine what might have happened.

MyShake @myshakeapp.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Yes! While magnitude and location are being determined, the earthquake is still happening. This only takes a few seconds, but the farther you are, the more time you have before the stronger shaking arrives and the more warning you will have as well.

020

MyShake @myshakeapp.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Sorry about that! The closer you are to the epicenter, the more difficult it is to send an alert before strong shaking reaches you. Hopefully, you remembered to Drop, Cover, and Hold on!

MyShake @myshakeapp.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Hi Greg, it could be your map filter settings. Try going to filters and adjusting the magnitude/time scale. If you aren't seeing any earthquakes at all on the map even for low magnitudes, send us a message at myshake-info@berkeley.edu and we'll get back to you.

Good day, MyShakers. Residents near Orcas, WA may have felt the 4.5 magnitude earthquake at 5:02 AM today. MyShake sent an alert to users in the affected area (see map). Remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On when alerted or if you feel shaking. Email questions/comments to myshake-info@berkeley.edu.

MyShake @myshakeapp.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

We're sorry to hear that. The information on our app updates as information from the USGS comes in so sometimes there can be delays as the parameters behind the earthquake (magnitude, location, depth) change. It should definitely be there now- try changing the filters if it's not on the map.
