MEXICO city - Mexico City quake-prone Government provides send alerts of earthquake by text message and through social networks such as Facebook and Twitter sites.
Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said he hoped that the system works by 19 September, the anniversary of the earthquake of magnitude 8.1 in 1985 that killed, up to 10,000 people.
Mexico City currently has an early warning system that uses the sirens to alert residents on earthquakes occurring hundreds of kilometres further on the Pacific coast of fault lines. Some people complain the alarms in their neighbourhoods may not be heard or occur.
Ebrard said Friday that his administration is in talks with many providers of services to implement the new alert system.
