The phone lines at our office and our twitter feed are a buzz with inquiries regarding earthquake or emergency preparedness kits. Our staff has been answering questions and we are loving the clients that are stopping by to visit our Richmond showroom.
With several small quakes along the BC coastline the past while, preparing seems to be in the forefront of everyone’s minds these days.
On Boxing Day we were given a gentle reminder that we do live in an earthquake zone when some homes were shook by the 3.3 earthquake at 10:35pm, just 13km east of Sidney. Although there was no damage from this small shake 247 people did communicate to Natural Resources Canada acknowledging the shake.
Since December 1 nearly 70 earthquakes from 0.9 to 4.8 have been recorded along coastal BC.
