Existing law creates the High-Speed Rail Authority with various powers and duties relative to implementation of an intercity high-speed train system. Existing law creates the Alfred E. Alquist Seismic Safety Commission and the California Emergency Management Agency with various powers and duties relative to earthquake hazard mitigation and governmental responses to calamities, respectively. This bill would require the High-Speed Rail Authority to develop an earthquake early warning system and coordinate development of that system with the California Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Education, and the Public Utilities Commission. The bill would require the earthquake early warning system to be designed to protect the lives of high-speed train passengers and schoolchildren, and protect critical infrastructure in this state by providing advanced earthquake warning and by enabling preventive measures seconds before an earthquake.
