October 14 to 20 – ShakeOut Week
October 19 – Great BC ShakeOut
BC Earthquake Alliance (BCEA) hosts the Annual ShakeOutBC earthquake drill on the third Thursday of October.
While potential earthquake hazards depend on your location, everywhere in British Columbia is considered at high risk in relation to the rest of Canada. Living in an earthquake region means British Columbians need to be prepared and know how to stay safe during and after an earthquake.
BCEA invites you to:
- Practise the Drop, Cover and Hold On earthquake drill and learn about appropriate adaptations.
- Take time during ShakeOut Week to learn more about earthquake and tsunami preparedness at shakeoutbc.ca
- Sign up your household, school, community and organization to demonstrate commitment to preparing for earthquake and tsunami. Registration is free and connects you to important information that helps us increase safety and resilience in the face of emergency.
Join hundreds of thousands of British Columbians on October 19th to practice your earthquake drill where you live, work or play. You can download the earthquake drill, guides and materials from our website; host an event within your organization; and listen to the drill live at 10:19a.m.via participating radio stations (https://www.shakeoutbc.ca/participant-map/radio-tv-drill-broadcasters/).
You will receive valuable information to help deepen your earthquake, tsunami and emergency preparedness.
