• ... that the Mexican Seismic Alert System is regarded as the first earthquake warning system to broadcast its alerts to the public? Source: "The SASMEX part for the Mexico City (called SAS) has been regarded as the first system in the world for earthquake early warning that disseminates its notices to the public" (p. 74)
  • ALT1:... that the Mexican Seismic Alert System provided Mexico City 80 seconds of advance notice prior to the 2012 Oaxaca earthquake?

• Article is new, long enough, and meets DYK standards on plagiarism, sourcing and neutrality. Hooks are short, interesting and cited inline to a reliable source; I prefer ALT1, because it is more interesting to a layman. QPQ has been completed. SounderBruce 02:04, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
