@cbcvancouver: Southwestern British Columbia has experienced several small but noticeable earthquakes over the past few weeks. For some it’s raising questions on how to be better prepared. CBC’s Baneet Braich looked into the Earthquake Early Warning system and how to better ensure it works for you. #earthquake #earthquakeearlywarning #alert #britishcolumbia #cbcnews

Don’t worry, god forbid, if a 6 richters or higher happens you’d be alerted by the earthquake itself, no alert can be faster than that!

Umm no, I was on the Canada line and and some people on the train got the alert while others didn’t.. so how does that make sense?

well as per the MM IV scale definition, I experienced most of those (as did everyone else) and we still did not receive an alert. Maybe these should be modified...

This report obfuscates the fundamental problem: people in exactly the same place at the same time, all feeling the February earthquake, didn’t all receive the alert.

not exactly the same but I was in a crowded area when a pair of amber alerts went out, even if your phone doesn't go off if a bunch of people around you phones go off ask what's going on, out run the same direction they are...

inherent in the nature of the system that I get an earthquake warning 5 minutes after I feel the earthquake, cool cool cool
