    This 2-page document describes how Earthquake Warning California helps people prepare for earthquakes. The system uses sensors to detect earthquakes and sends alerts through the MyShake App, Android Earthquake Alerts, and Wireless Emergency Alerts. It advises people to drop, cover their heads with their arms, and hold on during an earthquake. It also suggests creating an emergency plan with supplies like food, water, medications, and a family contact plan. Practicing drills in different locations is recommended to understand risks better.
