Could this new earthquake system give Alaska 50 seconds to prepare?

A new study reveals that an earthquake early warning system, similar to the USGS ShakeAlert used in California, Oregon, and Washington, could give Alaskan communities precious seconds to prepare before strong shaking hits. Modeling shows that towns like Sand Point, King Cove, and Chignik might receive between 10 and 50 seconds of warning during major quakes, while a simulated magnitude 8.3 event could provide up to half a minute in some areas.
