1. How aware, do you think, are BC residents of the province's earthquake risk?
2. More specifically, how aware are BC residents of the risk for a mega earthquake?
3. How prepared is BC?

Why did you repeat your own post? That is something spammers do. Are you an earth quake insurance salesman?

No. Nothing to do with selling. Just wanted to get opinions and didn't realize there was a Science & Environment forum.

This is the last I saw on the dangers. I assume the Rockies will be able to stop the ocean from reaching AB.


The one question I have is would Van Is be taken further out to sea and sunk or would it be lifted up?

This seems very scary. Thanks for sharing. I wonder whether anything can be done at all to prepare for a mega earthquake like this. Maybe many BC residents are not even aware of this risk.

Heating of the water above the rift would also be a sign that tension would be increasing but still leave the time and the place as a unknown. The Pacific blob would qualify as that event and it has been present for a few years now.
