This morning鈥檚 3.8-magnitude earthquake north of Victoria is a good reminder that much of British Columbia is in a significant earthquake zone.

丁香园AV experts Brent Ward and John Clague can talk about this morning鈥檚 earthquake, the reason B.C. is a hotbed of seismic activity and how a small earthquake such as this one should be viewed as a wake-up call for better earthquake preparedness.
