Whenever an event like this happens, I wonder how Canada's west coast would fare. I know that Vancouver has been trying to design and upgrade buildings to withstand earthquakes but I wonder how they rank against a country like Japan. I've never seen any tsunami or earthquake warning type infrastructure on Vancouver island or in the Vancouver area. I visit Vancouver occasionally but maybe someone living in the area could fill me in?
