NRCan has funded the lovely people at EMCR to include Earthquake Early Warning in public education. They've just launched this great advert: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
Tsunami: strong, long shaking is your warning - get to high ground as soon as the shaking has stopped. And, before the megathrust earthquake happens, learn where high ground is, prepare, and practise! youtube.com/watch?v=k51dPF2V…

I've been given the uber-personal gift of my seismo-self imortalised in Lego, complete with on-call mobile - how cool is that?!! Thank you, @jingerbird72! ☺️
Have just returned from a week in Ottawa, where I enjoyed participating in a Canadian Red Cross workshop to review our collaborative work on the Inclusive Resiliency project, and had the chance to meet up with some of my amazing colleagues and friends. A wonderful opportunity!
Many thanks to the #TownofSidney Fire Dept for hosting the #ShakeOutBC debrief meeting and especially for the amazing tour!!
