    Technology hurdles aside, the work suffers from lack of funding. The USGS has spent $2 million on the project and is seeking help from private foundations and industry groups. Scientists estimate it will cost $80 million over five years to create a statewide public alert system and millions more annually to maintain it.

    Some people will whine about the costs for poor results because no strong earthquakes have happened for a while.

    Nobody should put a cost on a human life.
