BC Preparedness

New research into the Cascadia Subduction Zone has highlighted an increased risk for a major earthquake, particularly for areas near Vancouver Island and Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. This study, involving advanced mapping of the seafloor, shows that the fault segments in these regions are more prone to powerful earthquakes. Findings suggest that these areas are at higher risk of “megaquakes” due to specific geological conditions. Enhanced understanding from this research can now aid seismic preparedness measures for southern British Columbia and beyond. For further details, read on or view the full article on Global News.
