SASSLA:AComprehensiveRiskManagementandEarly WarningDigitalPlatform
Inaddition to receiving emergency warnings and public announcements from civil defense officials, getthe official signal from the Mexican Earthquake Early Warning System (SASMEX).
Whenthe Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) isactivated, the SASSLA APP delivers tailored information:
•Approximatearrivaltimeof seismic waves at yoursite (ETA)
•Locationof the approximateepicenter
•Predictedshaking intensity at your location (light, moderate, or strong)
