Original Message A FEW times a year, Mexico City is rocked by tremors strong enough to cause tall buildings to sway and lights to flicker on and off. Most of the time they cause little damage, but sometimes they are devastating: in 1985, nearly 20,000 people were killed after a magnitude 8.0 earthquake struck the city.

On April 3rd the city’s government launched a mobile-phone application that will give citizens about a minute’s notice of impending quakes. So far available only for BlackBerry, the free app will emit a “Seismic Alert” in the form of a sound when an earthquake is on its way.
