Earthquakes are unpredictable and destructive forces of nature. While it’s still not possible to predict when and where earthquakes will hit with exact precision, it’s still possible to prepare for the disaster by monitoring earthquakes when they happen. ShakeAlertLA is a utility app that provides residents of LA County with timely alerts about earthquakes that happen in the vicinity. The app displays the magnitude, location, and time of the earthquake. There is also a recorded history of recent earthquakes in the area. ShakeAlertLA is a good app, but you do have to keep you GPS open in order for it to work. That said, it’s a serviceable app that’s handy for news regarding earthquakes in LA.
