California's Office of Emergency Services is committed to providing landlords and their tenants an extra layer of safety from the dangers posed by earthquakes through their early warning system.

Stay one step ahead – take proactive steps now for a safer tomorrow!


A revolutionary warning system, dubbed Earthquake Warning California, has been implemented in the state to keep citizens informed and safe. Utilizing ground motion sensors that can detect earthquakes before they are felt by humans, this lifesaving technology could be instrumental in preventing loss of life or property during seismic events.


Californians can stay informed and prepared for earthquakes with helpful tools, such as:

  • MyShake App
  • Android Earthquake Alerts
  • Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs)

By using one of these resources to receive notifications in a timely manner, residents can ensure they are always aware when an earthquake strikes.



Earthquakes can happen without warning, but the California Earthquake Early Warning website strives to give individuals moments of preparedness. By visiting their site and taking just a few simple steps – such as dropping down low, covering oneself from debris and holding-on tight - you could save your life in case of seismic activity.

Best Ways to Communicate With Tenants: Email, Text, or Call

Key Takeaways Effective communication is essential for managing properties, helping prevent misunderstandings, resolve issues quickly, and build positive tenant relationships. Email is best for documentation and detailed information, but it may not be effective for urgent matters due to slower response times. Text messaging provides fast, convenient communication for reminders and updates, though it can lack formality and be difficult to track over time. Phone calls are ideal for emergencies and sensitive conversations, offering immediate clarification, but they require follow-up documentation to maintain records.
