 BC prepares for earthquakes in a number of ways at different levels. So nationally we have policies and plans that promote earthquake preparedness and earthquake readiness. As well at the provincial government level we have procedures in place when earthquakes happen. We have standard operating procedures to deal with earthquakes as well as working on larger policy and implementation issues also at the local government level and individuals. So we really try to work from the ground up to prepare individuals for earthquakes. During ShakeOut millions of people participate in the same drill at the same time all practicing the drop cover and hold on safety technique.
