I’m surprised that this feature hasn’t been included in an update as of yet as Apple headquarters are in California. It could save lives and money from infrastructure damage. The big one would be catastrophic.

I think this is something that is better provided by government. I think the question should be why doesn’t California have an early warning alert system similar to the likes of Japan, which will notify all cellphone and smartphone users in affected areas regardless of their brand of device?

    From the comments on the link someone else posted, it appears there is already a CA government-provided option:

    If you are located in the US states California, Oregon, and Washington, see the MyShake app. This app is part of the USGS MyShake project.
