They are also able to detect forces as large and as subtle as the gravitational pull of the moon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That level of sensitivity is important to help scientists pinpoint exactly where a quake originates and how fast and far it is spreading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These machines don't come cheap, though: They can cost up to $17,000 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, the system has about 400 sensors, some on mountaintops, others in forests, and some in the desert or even in office buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Faster Than an Earthquake\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal of this system is to warn people seconds after an earthquake has started so they can get to safety before the shaking reaches them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For that to work, these super sensors need to be able to send alerts faster than the seismic waves travel through the Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Hudnut, a geophysicist with USGS, says the system mostly does that using a cell modem network, similar to what smartphones use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141203\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 311px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/EarthquakeSensor.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/EarthquakeSensor-311x225.jpg\" alt=\"An STS 2.0, a very sophisticated motion sensor.

Ideally, he says, the system would have multiple ways of sending data, from radio towers to fiber-optic cables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We just can't afford it,\" Hudnut explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final step in the warning system is the warning itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltech's Tom Heaton has a prototype of the quake alert system installed on his office computer. If a quake struck, an alarm would sound telling him how much time he had until the shaking reached him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on how far away the quake is, Heaton could get a minute's warning, but if the epicenter is close by he might get no warning or at most a few seconds to drop and cover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, the goal is to do more than just warn Caltech professors. Heaton hopes one day all Californians will get a quake alert before the ground beneath them starts to move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Or, in the more common situation, it won't even tell them; it would tell their elevator: 'Go to the closest floor, open the door and tell them to get out of it.'

Padilla hopes this process can raise $80 million through a combination of state money, federal grants and contributions from private companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, if no funding mechanism is created by Jan. 1, 2016, the requirements of the law expire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A minute warning could save lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josh Sessoms installs quake sensors for the USGS and he takes the early warning project personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It may give a minute or two before the earthquake in early warning,\" he said. \"Well, think about that: My kids could be able to get outside of the house and into the street and actually be able to save our lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessoms just hopes those who control the state's purse strings will feel as passionately about this system as he does.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Every temblor is different, so it’s hard to generalize about what you should do.

Morgan says a level head is vital to staying safe and alive after a big quake. Once the shaking stops, take a moment to assess the situation around you before doing anything. What’s the condition of the roadway – does it seem buckled? Does the self-anchored suspension tower above you look stable? Is there anything else above you that might fall? Are there car fires? Are there live wires? What's around you that looks hazardous? And what about you – are you injured but perhaps don't feel it because your adrenaline is flowing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When that top section collapsed (in Loma Prieta),\" Morgan said, \"there were one or two vehicles on the top section. … Two of those vehicles actually drove into the collapsed section more out of panic than anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c!--more-->Third,\u003c/strong> keep your initial assessment in mind when deciding whether to help quake victims on the bridge. If you get yourself in danger while trying to render aid, you might unwittingly become part of the emergency response problem instead of the solution. Hard as it may be in that moment to stay put and not help other people in need, it might be the safest and wisest option. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/17/learning-how-to-respond-to-a-boston-style-emergency/\">Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training\u003c/a> is a great way to learn how to handle all kinds of disasters -- you can take free classes from your local first responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan says the key thing to ask yourself is: C\u003cem>an I help out without needlessly or overly jeopardizing my safety?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fourth,\u003c/strong> be careful when evacuating the Bay Bridge – it might be safer to walk off instead of drive, or you might need to sit tight and wait to be rescued. When the Big One hits, CHP and Caltrans engineers will probably block access to the bridge and other major bridges for a damage assessment.

These include tools that can help you escape your car if necessary, like a spring-loaded center punch to break through the window or a blade sharp enough to cut through seat belts (stored within reach of the driver’s seat). A first-aid kit is always good to have, as well as water, a solar or hand-cranked radio (tuned to KQED 88.5 FM, of course, for continuing coverage), a flashlight in case the quake hits at night and knocks out power, blankets and cash. Morgan even recommends keeping a USB thumb drive with your medical information so first responders know how to care for you. If you do that, make sure the files are in commonly used formats like plain text, Word or PDF.\u003c/p>\n\n",
