That isn't true at all. Turkey is a corrupt country, when they get hit with an earthquake tens of thousands lose their lives. Japan & the USA have much lower levels of corruption so they plan in advance, have building regulations that survive earthquakes and educate the population with videos like this so people know what to do. That preparation means you can survive an earthquake 10x worse than Turkey and only a handful of lives are lost.

Not only Rainier, but also Mt. Baker, on which you can view the steaming vents on it’s top, as my husband did when he climbed to the top about 12 yrs ago, but we also have to beware of all of the volcanoes that comprise the Cascades, especially Mt. Hood, near Portland and Mt. Shasta in Northern California……but those are just the larger, more well known volcanoes in the Cascades. We also have to be wary of the lesser known ones, which can still come to life, with enough pressure from the magma chambers and the gases it produces, like Mt. St. Helens; which before the earthquakes began increasing, with the mountain being their epicentre, until the fateful day, May 18th, when the huge lateral eruption, followed by lahars and volcanic ash being blown afar, to eastern WA and even Idaho occurred! Up until the St. Helens quakes began, months before it finally erupted, it was merely deemed a favourite camping, hiking, outdoor escape. But like St. Helens there other, lesser known volcanoes, 16 in total, that are not extinct and still pose a threat if they erupt. Given the Cascadian subduction zone, where the Juan de Fuca plate is being forced under the North America plate, rock forced under, melts, creating more magma and likely increases the pressure beneath the Cascadian volcanoes. Having been to St Helen’s in the aftermath of its eruption, it is amazing to see the multiple thousands of large growth trees, that were blown to the ground like match sticks. It looks very similar to the forests in Tunguska, Siberia, where an estimated 80 million trees were laid flat after the meteor atmospheric explosion of a rapidly incoming asteroid, 160-200 ft wide!!! Yes, the BIG ONE in the west Pacific Coast, could truly be an epic disaster!!!!!!

I am a Canadian (from Vancouver Island) and Kiwi living in NZ. I was there for the Christchurch earthquake (which was relatively local and not a tectonic quake), and given that experience I have serious concerns about the time taken to update standards and mitigation for such an earthquake. I would also like to see a critical assessment at Federal level of how Canada would react to support the west of Canada in such an event, given that according to first nations accounts, the last 'big one' was felt well into Alberta. Some review of the ability to ship support teams, and particularly supplies over the Rockies into the west of Canada. One must assume that train and road links will be cut, which leaves shipping by water and by air. Where is the information about the resilience of airfields and docking facilities, plus the routes emanating from those to ship critical resources? As I understand this the US is taking this issue more urgently and conducts drills for their military to engage to do post-quake resupply - has the Canadian Federal Government done such an assessment and done exercises in this area? If so, to what extend and what were the results?
@brianhouston5368Ай бұрын
The Canadian Armed Forces response would fall under Operation LENTUS, which responds to all natural disasters that overwhelm a region, and CAF response will vary as needed. Local West Coast military have also been conducting drills for years, specifically on how to respond to The Big One. They've trained for it. Will it be enough? Not with the potential damage forecasted. Military and emergency services in Canada have major personnel shortages right now, and need more funding and support to get ready for crises like this.

I'm from Ottawa but I'm grateful that I somehow knew that hiding under a table was the correct course of action during an earthquake! I was alone on the second floor of a 120 year-old house in San Diego in 2010 when a 5.7 hit - and it was terrifying! It was instinct to dive under the sturdy desk I'd been sitting at once the floor started sliding underneath me, It felt like the entire house was rolling back and forth like it was on wheels. The walls were moving back and forth too, like the entire house was a cube of jello. I was expecting the desk and I to end up on the lawn and I've never been so scared in my life! And THAT was just 5.7 for almost a minute - not the big one for 4 or 5 minutes! Trust me: You're not going to want to be standing up when it hits and things start falling off walls around you! You're going to want to hide under the first thing you see as you scream for it to stop!

The movie, San Andreas, was riddled with Hollyweird fantasies and falsehoods, but if they were to move the tsunami several hundred miles to the north, it could happen like the one in 2011 in east Japan. Vancouver, BC would be hit much later than in Aberdeen, WA, but it would still get hit. I was in Arequipa, Peru in 1979 in a 6.4 earthquake and the only thing that kept the death toll low was that it happened between 0500 and 0600. The city center was mostly deserted and all of the glass panes in the office buildings that popped out of their frames made a pile of broken glass between 6 and 15 inches deep on the sidewalks.

The lesson in megaquakes is that any emergency planning will be next to useless if communications go down, if firehalls and hospitals become danger zones, if debris makes travelling even if only walking is impossible, if bridges are rendered dangerous, if gas lines are ruptured, if electrical wiring is everywhere as well as glass and wrecked cars and other vehicles, if the internet is inoperable - you get the picture. Plan for the worst and then double down on that worse case scenario. Imagine the worst and then expect that to be exceeded. Just saying that even in Japan which was way more prepared for earthquakes than we are over 20,000 people died. We need a plan of action that includes the military and every emergency crew in the province to have a coordinated plan of getting into the lower mainland in a really fast and efficient way, which means mobilizing every available helicopter, ATV and large vehicles in rescue efforts. And remember that Seattle, Portland and northern California will have their hands filled with dealing with the same fashion. Assume that few people who survive will know what to do and that rescue services will take hours and days to recover enough to get into full operational mode.

One only has to look at the Tohoku quake and tsunamis, which hit the best prepared country on the planet for such events to see even they were unprepared for that mega disaster as dozens of their Tsunami evacuation centers were completely over topped by water. The experts here are not factoring in potential underwater landslides, Japan didn't, which caused a secondary tsunami to join the other raising that waves height to 40 meters, or about 120 feet.

I’m sorry I can’t remember everything he said, but one story that stood out in relation to this documentary, was a story about a Thunderbird that dropped a Whale into the ocean and caused that mega tsunami. I know I most likely Butchered the story unintentionally.

Actually that's pretty close to what any of these videos have reported the story to be.

They would be completely overrun as were the Japanese in 2011 and they have much more experience with both earthquakes and tsunamis. Also the female reporter doesn't have to SHOUT to be heard - she has a microphone. Why do American reporters always shout?

I don’t know what school system the fellow was talking about near the end we had duck and cover drills going on in School District 66 on Vancouver Island thirty/forty years ago. Heck we realized that Lake Cowichan is on a fault line and is very susceptible to intense shaking even with mild earthquakes.

I don’t know, but I know in the Okanagan they didn’t. I think now they just have that one drill he was talking about, but when I grew up in Greater Victoria SD61, we had them in the 90’s for sure. All the time.

Do fire departments have maps showing natural gas lines to houses/neighborhoods? What about propane tanks? This could help save lives of firefighters and the public.

Do you see what goes on in Seattle and Portland these days? I think they could use a big cleanup, so like a 500 foot wave might just be what the doctor ordered.
