Seismologists say the Big One is inevitable, that the B.C. coast is overdue for a destructive, magnitude nine earthquake.
This week the District of North Vancouver released results of a detailed joint study by Natural Resources Canada and UBC that simulated plausible damage scenarios if a 7.3-magnitude earthquake were to hit the municipality.
According to the study, about 840 buildings, most of them built prior to the mid-1970s, would likely be extensively damaged or collapse completely.
So, are you prepared for a massive earthquake?
