I agree with your point that the message should have way less info which could buy me additional time.
Something like: 4.5-5.9: “Earthquake cat 1” 6.0-6.3: “Earthquake cat 2”
Etc. something to tell me, get ready, or something to tell me this is going to be huge, but not precise numbers or even better:
“Earthquake, 3.87 seconds” with a count down would be ideal. If I have 7 seconds I can get outside. 2 seconds and I duck and cover.
