Earthquakes Hit BC – Are you Earthquake Ready?
An earthquake and at least two aftershocks struck off the coast of BC in late November. The first quake registered 6.6 and was just off the southern tip of the Queen Charlotte Islands. In January 2010 a 7.0 quake (the worst in 200 years) devastated Haiti killing approx. 50,000 and injuring up to 3 million.
The key to preparing your business and home for an earthquake is to plan ahead before the emergency.
Brief your staff. Tell your staff what they should do before, during, and after an earthquake, whether they are at home, at work, or on the road. Call our office and schedule your 1hr Emergency Preparedness Seminar.
Emergency Supplies. Keep enough emergency food, water, heat, and lighting to last the average number of people on site for at least 72 hours. Visit our products page for more information.
