Building a culture of earthquake and tsunami preparedness

Founded in 2010, the British Columbia Earthquake Alliance (BCEA) is a Not-for-profit Society and our mission is to build a culture of earthquake and tsunami preparedness, through efforts such as the Great British Columbia ShakeOut.

ShakeOutBC is the major event hosted by the British Columbia Earthquake Alliance (BCEA).

OUR VISION

Build a culture of preparedness that reduces injury, loss of life and property damage from earthquakes and tsunami in British Columbia.

Before an earthquake or tsunami:

British Columbians take active steps to ready themselves, their families, their businesses and their communities for earthquakes. British Columbians perpetuate a self-sustaining culture of readiness by sharing their readiness activities with one another.

During an earthquake or tsunami:

British Columbians take appropriate action to minimize associated injuries, loss of life and property damage.

After an earthquake or tsunami:

British Columbians survive, recover and prosper.
