How Can Just a Few Seconds Help
 - Public Warning – Alert individuals to take protective actions such as Drop, Cover, and Hold On.
 - First Responder Mobilization – Open fire station doors for rapid deployment of emergency response equipment and personnel.
 - Health Care – Notify medical providers to stabilize and/or stop delicate procedures and maintain critical medical facility operations.
 - Utility Infrastructure – Safeguard energy sector grid and other utilities infrastructure for strong shaking with warning alarms and automatic controls to prevent combustions, flooding, and loss of water distribution systems.
 - Mass Transit Systems – Prevent fatal collisions or derailments by automatically slowing and/or stopping trains, clearing bridges, and diverting inbound airport traffic.
 - Workplace Safety – Employees take protective actions, initiate elevator recall procedures to ground floor, place sensitive equipment in safe mode, secure hazardous materials, and halt production lines to reduce damage.
