How to survive an earthquake in British Columbia

In Canada, the coast of British Columbia is the region most at risk from a major earthquake. Approximately 5,000 typically small earthquakes are recorded in Canada each year. In the past 100 years, at least nine earthquakes in or near Canada have registered a magnitude greater than 7. Even a magnitude 6 earthquake could do extensive damage in a built-up area. In fact, a strong quake near one of Canada’s major urban areas would likely be the most destructive natural disaster this country could experience.
