Get Prepared

Canada has experienced many earthquakes of significant magnitude. Experts believe that British Columbia is not only susceptible to a major earthquake, but that one is long overdue. While the magnitude of such an earthquake cannot be predicted, recent events in California and the Pacific Northwest have heightened awareness of the need for emergency planning, preparedness and risk management before a major earthquake occurs.
