20: 39: 185:, but with faster lead times in order to issue more timely warnings within two seconds or less. CIRES offers alert systems for buildings and personal use, which also come pre-installed with the official warning sound used for earthquake alerts in Mexico. On its network of transmitters, CIRES issues required weekly tests every three hours to ensure receivers are connected to its network, as well as earthquake warnings when necessary. More than 90,000 users in Mexico City, including almost all public schools, have receivers. The 32: 215:. Some people may have taken the alert for a continuation of an earthquake drill held three hours before. Six stations reported, and alerts 12 to 48 seconds before the shock were also provided to Oaxaca, Acapulco, Chilpancingo, Guadalajara, Colima and Puebla (this has not been verified by an external agency). 168:
Historically, CIRES has been able to provide 60 seconds of warning time to Mexico City in the event of an earthquake along the southern coast, and as many as 30 seconds to Oaxaca City if an earthquake occurs near the coast of that state, with shorter lead times for earthquakes centered closer to the

throughout the city in 1987, allowing data to be obtained on ground movements in the area. With the support of the local government, CIRES developed Mexico City's earthquake alert system, which began operating with 12 sensors in 1991 and has been publicly available since 1993.
141:. Beginning in 2000, CIRES and the state government developed an early warning system for Oaxaca, which entered into service in 2003. The two formerly separate earthquake warning systems were combined in 2005 to form SASMEX. 192:
CIRES alerts are also transmitted by major broadcasters in Mexico City, Toluca, Acapulco, Chilpancingo and Oaxaca and, as of 2015, through Mexico City's municipal loudspeaker network with more than 8,200 speakers installed.
200:, the SASMEX system (at that time not fully unified) provided 25 seconds of warning to Oaxaca City, 45 seconds to Chilpancingo and Acapulco, and 80 seconds to Mexico City. The system was also effective during the 157:, and in northern Puebla and across most of Oaxaca. An expansion to the network of 28 sensors, currently in development, would add monitoring capabilities in Oaxaca's Isthmus region, inland portions of 109:, under the name AlertaSĂ­smica SASMEX. All earthquakes are reported as #TenemosSismo (we have an earthquake); warnings of serious ones are delivered as #AlertaSismica (earthquake alert). 480: 551: 247:"The Mexican Seismic Alert System (SASMEX): Its Alert Signals, Broadcast Results and Performance During the M 7.4 Punta Maldonado Earthquake of March 20th, 2012" 561: 105:
