"The threat of disasters affecting the Lower Mainland is real. We live in an active earthquake zone and should expect damaging earthquakes; perhaps one every decade, on our part of the coast. We are subject to violent windstorms and wildfires - like those experienced, often tragically in California. We are also vulnerable to incidents involving the shipment/storage of hazardous materials; accidents can occur on land, in our harbours, inland waters and in coastal waters."
(Excert from the forword written by Ross Peterson - Past North and West Vancouver Emergency Program Co-ordinator.)
The Emergency Planning Manual and Workbook is intended to provide a comprehensive starting point for individuals and organizations wishing to be better prepared for a significant disaster such as an earthquake.
