Earthquake protection that starts before the shaking does.

Early Warning Labs delivers audible earthquake alerts with up to 60 seconds of advance warning, reducing the risk of catastrophic injuries and casualties by 50% – all before the ground starts shaking.

What’s Possible with Seconds of Advanced Warning?

Early Warning Labs technology delivers earthquake alerts filtered to your desired threshold with enough advance notice to trigger automated safety measures across your operations.

In up to a 60-second window of time, hospitals can protect patients, schools can broadcast drop-cover-hold-on instructions to hundreds of students, manufacturing facilities can shut down critical machinery… and much more.

The specific actions depend on your facility and what you've configured–but all of it happens automatically and, most importantly, before the shaking starts.

usgs Official Partner

Early Warning Labs started as a founding R&D partner of the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) ShakeAlert® system. We worked directly with the scientific team to develop and test last-mile delivery and the official standards of these life-saving alerts. Now, Early Warning Labs is the leading official licensed partner of the ShakeAlert® system, allowing us to receive real-time seismic data and deliver precise, scientifically tested, location-specific warnings seconds before destructive shaking arrives at your location.

Built by Leaders in Emergency Response

Early Warning Labs was founded by Joshua Bashioum, who spent over 15 years in emergency management as a Search and Rescue first responder and FEMA instructor before recognizing the opportunity to bring commercial earthquake early warning technology to the organizations that need it most. That foundation in real-world emergency response continues to shape how we build, deploy, and support systems designed to protect lives.
