Across the province, educators, office managers and families in cities and towns throughout BC are making ready for Shake it Out 2023.
All part of the annual October Earthquake Preparation exercise for British Columbians.
Living along the active fault line of the North Pacific means that occasionally the earth is going to shift and things are going to rattle, more so for Haida Gwaii of late, but something that North Coast residents should keep in mind as well.Towards better preparation should the earth move under our feet, the Province is reminding British Columbians of The Great British Columbia Shake Out.
The day dedicated towards understanding what you need to do and how to be prepared for earthquake activity with some helpful advice on wha to do should an earthquake strike.
Taking place this morning, Shake Out BC Day is part of a worldwide awareness and practice session where we all will Drop, Cover and Hold On at 10:19 AM.
