Earthquakes happen, big ones are rare. 10-15% chance of a Cascadia full rupture event in the next 50 years (based on activity over the past 10,000 years)
324 years ago tonight (9 p.m. Jan. 26, 1700) a M~9 #Cascadia subduction earthquake rocked the west coast from #VancouverIsland to northern #California. The Juan de Fuca Plate slipped as much as 20 m, causing a large tsunami, strong shaking and landslides https://t.co/l7nbpB7Q0G
@SaanichEP@ShakeOutBC@sd61schools That’s the school my kiddos go to! Thanks for helping educate, motivate, and prepare! I’ll be securing my kitchen cupboards with earthquake locks as my ShakeOut ‘homework’
The August 21, 1949 M8.1 earthquake off #HaidaGwaii ruptured a nearly 500-km-long segment of the Queen Charlotte Fault ("Canada's San Andreas Fault"). The average slip along the fault was about 5 m. This earthquake was followed by hundreds of aftershocks.

@alferraby @earthquakeguy Models are never correct, sometimes they are helpful. Most tsunamis that make impact on the coast of BC will be over-estimated by media, people that watch disaster movies and ‘worst-case’ tsunami models
Tonight's the night! 🎙️
Join us at 7pm as #Saanich welcomes @teron3moore to the Cedar Hill Rec Centre stage for a seismic session to discuss the risk, resilience and readiness for earthquakes and tsunamis in BC. 🏚️🌊

Sooo… I’m excited about my first in-person presentation in two years!
Come learn and share knowledge about seismic science, technology and how to apply them to life safety and risk management solutions for families and communities.
Curious about earthquakes and tsunamis? 🏚️🌊
On Wednesday, May 4 @teron3moore will discuss seismic hazards and how modern approaches are informing earthquake and tsunami risk reduction in BC. 🎙️
Join us at Cedar Hill Rec Centre at 7 pm

Congratulations to the City of Seattle for becoming the first @USGS_ShakeAlert user in Seattle this week! Using Early Warning Labs tech they successfully recalled elevators and played audible alerts in their facilities during a live test.
Seismic session, earthquake education, tsunami talk… whatever you want to call it, I’m really looking forward to gathering in-person over the subjects of risk, resilience and readiness!

@TamsinLyle@earthquakeguy@alisonlbird Great catch, @TamsinLyle! Think of the effect on Recovery post event(s) after a big one on the CSZ! @ICLRCanada For me… I put my annual EQ insurance $ into a retrofit of my home. I started with the tenant’s suite where the gas line comes in, charge more rent and sleep soundly!
BC’s Parliamentary Secretary for Emergency Preparedness @JenniferRice6 joined other dignitaries to announce that @NRCan has installed the first of 100s of sensors planned for the national Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system https://t.co/UNAmqhljk0
