Sorry to panic you! There aren't any sensitivity settings that would help. However, earthquake early warning is always under improvement. Fill out a felt report- that's a good way to log that you got an alert, but not a lot of shaking. That information is looked at by scientists to get an idea of how well the alerts perform and what can be done to make things better.

A M4.9 #earthquake occurred today at 1:41am near Boulder Creek, CA. MyShake issued early warning alerts to our users in the region where felt shaking was expected. Remember to drop, cover, and hold on when you receive an alert or feel shaking. @Cal_OES The map below shows the alerted region. Don't have the MyShake app?

Hi there, you can send us a message at [email protected] and we can help figure out what why you and your mom didn't receive an alert. Earthquake alerts are considered critical emergency alerts and override your phone's volume setting and do not disturb so this is something we would want to know more about.

When an earthquake happens and you're sleeping, stay there, roll over onto your stomach, and cover your neck with either your hands or a pillow (and don't put anything that can fall on you near where you sleep). Drop, cover, hold on is the right action most of the time- but this is one of the few exceptions especially useful at 1 am.

Hi there, emergency alerts are sent out for earthquakes with a magnitude estimate of 4.5 and greater. The biggest one near San Ramon was M4.2 and the estimate at its max was 4.4- so no alert. The other ones have been smaller than that- there's just a lot of them. You should have gotten informational pop-up notifications for these earthquakes- if not, send us an email at [email protected].

Most earthquake injuries come from falling objects, not building collapse. Secure ONE item today: - Bookshelf (wall strap) - TV/Monitor (anti-tip) - Mirrors/Frames (quake hooks) - Cabinets (latches) - Small objects that could fly (museum putty)

@dss358 Open the app, go to settings, and click "HomeBase Location"- you'll see a teal square. Don't worry if the teal square doesn't perfectly fit where you are- as long as it's in the ballpark, you'll get alerts for decent shaking from big earthquakes that affect that area.
