Earthquake early warning depends on more than detecting a seismic event. People and organizations must understand alerts, receive them through useful systems and know how to respond. This strategic vision examines the communication, education, outreach and technical engagement that support the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system.
The report explains the system’s authorities, operating environment and ecosystem before setting out a strategic framework. It examines governance, responsibilities and the connections among scientific agencies, technical partners, educators and users. Later sections describe implementation and performance measurement, linking the vision to practical work and evaluation. Diagrams illustrate alert thresholds, organizational relationships and the wider delivery process. First published in September 2025, the complete professional report preserves its original figures, glossary, references and agency credits.
