Early Warning Systems (EWS) have the potential to warn the population, government officials, police, fire department, and operators of vital and/or hazardous facilities. The options available for response within the warning time depends very much on its length. For instance, the EWS of Mexico City provides 60 to 75 seconds of advance warning. This represents the time delay between strong motion recorded at the subduction zone where the Cocos plate slides beneath North America and felt in the city 300 to 350 km away.
