On May 28, 2013, the California State Senate voted unanimously (39-0) to pass "State Bill 135," which will create a comprehensive state-wide earthquake early warning system form the state of California.
The bill states that the bill, if passed by the assembly and signed by the governor, will require:
"(1) Installation of field sensors.(2) Improvement of field telemetry.(3) Construction and testing of central processing and notification centers.(4) Establishment of warning notification distribution paths to the public.(5) Integration of earthquake early warning education with general earthquake preparedness efforts."
The bill will most likely be up for signing by the governor this fall.
In the mean-time... here are some posts on earthquake early warning in order by date:
