Nevada Gets Earthquake Alert It Didn't Deserve

Nevadans got an unexpected earthquake alert Wednesday morning — even though the quake was actually in Northern California — thanks to the ShakeAlert system’s reach across state lines and its cautious, over-estimating approach to seismic threats. Experts say it’s better to warn you and have you feel nothing than miss a warning for a bigger quake. While Nevada isn’t currently part of ShakeAlert, lawmakers are pushing to bring it here with federal funding and new monitoring stations — a proposal expected within a year. Until then, being prepared remains your best defense. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
