An earthquake simulator has been set up at Union Station in downtown L.A. Tuesday to show people what it's like to experience a magnitude-7.0 quake.
The goal is to give people who may have never experienced a strong earthquake the chance to do so, in order to realize they need to be prepared.
CAL OES is also asking people to download the MyShake app, the statewide app designed to give the public a few seconds warning in the event of a large earthquake. Jose Lara with CAL OES told CBSLA those seconds could be crucial. "It absolutely is enough," Lara said."If I could tell you that you're gonna have three seconds to prepare for an oncoming earthquake, you have the ability to grab your children, or drop, cover and hold on, get underneath a table, or go somewhere safe."
The simulator will be open to the public from 8 a.m. through 1 p.m. in Patsaouras Transit Plaza. It will then make stops in Sacramento on Thursday, Berkeley on Friday and Salinas on Saturday. Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
