CITY OF VANCOUVER
The city of Vancouver is also raising awareness and encouraging individual and neighbourhood preparedness. A City funded video highlights the impact of a major earthquake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq1VHnq0Yvk&feature=em-share_video_user It points out that the emergency services will be stretched beyond capacity (the definition of a disaster) and people will be on their own for significant periods of time. Stay tuned for more on Disaster Support Hubs, a current city wide project.
MAP YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD (MYN)
DEEP committee members, Ann Pacey, John Halldorson, Jael Emberley,Katarina Halm, presented “Map Your Neighborhood” (MYN) at Dunbar Community Centre, St George’s School, St Philip’s Anglican Church throughout 2015. Each presentation brought five to fourteen neighbours together for a lively discussion of the popular DVD and step-by-step guide for preparing neighbourhood blocks. The MYN programme was developed by the State of Washington and is perfectly suited for preparedness in Dunbar. MYN is an excellent complement to the City of Vancouver’s emergency and disaster preparedness programmes. DEEP volunteers continue to facilitate the MYN film and discussions. Let us know if you would like a presentation for your block.
“We enjoyed the evening with Jael, it was very interesting. The Map Your Neighbourhood programme is well done. Here in Switzerland we may not understand the preoccupation – we live in a place less imperiled by earthquakes. Apart from preparing for disasters, the program helps build a new kind of relationship in neighbourhoods”.
– Hanspeter and Mariann from Switzerland
Ian Graham created a U-tube clip of Jael Emberley’s presentation and replies to some of the post-presentation audience questions. Sound isn’t great – no microphone available, and there was quite a bit of noise from the air conditioner in the room. The video is publicly available at http://youtu.be/pMoZ6Jlaegw. The final video is only 10-1/2 minutes long. Ian took out some gaps, and did not include the Washington State MYN video, except for very brief transitions, since a video of a video isn’t very clear. However, in the YouTube Description field Ian provided a link to the full collection of segments that is available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL410AF5FF49F4CEEE, so people can easily watch some or all.

* A great plan for your next block watch meeting.
DVD and worksheets for Map Your Neighbourhood (MYN) are available. Pick up at of our meetings or contact Katarina Halm at 604 263 9123, to coordinate pick up.

The Earthquake That Will Destroy The Pacific Northwest
KATHRYN SCHULZ · THE NEW YORKER · 24 MINUTES
“Here’s a suggestion: Skip your morning coffee and instead read Kathryn Schulz’s terrifying piece on the massive earthquake that will one day hit the Pacific Northwest. Equal parts scientific mystery story and (scientifically accurate!) disaster movie script, you won’t be able to tear yourself away”.
1. “Scientists were able to date the last major earthquake thanks to Japanese records from the early 18th century, which noted an ‘orphan tsunami’:
“Finally, in a 1996 article in Nature, a seismologist named Kenji Satake and three colleagues, drawing on the work of Atwater and Yamaguchi, matched that orphan [tsunami] to its parent—and thereby filled in the blanks in the Cascadia story with uncanny specificity. At approximately nine o’ clock at night on January 26, 1700, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck the Pacific Northwest, causing sudden land subsidence, drowning coastal forests, and, out in the ocean, lifting up a wave half the length of a continent.”
2. “When the quake hits, the land won’t just shake — it will shift:
“When the next very big earthquake hits, the northwest edge of the continent, from California to Canada and the continental shelf to the Cascades, will drop by as much as six feet and rebound thirty to a hundred feet to the west—losing, within minutes, all the elevation and compression it has gained over centuries.”
3. “The damage, if the earthquake reaches its full potential strength, will be catastrophic:
“Whoever chooses or has no choice but to stay there will spend three to six months without electricity, one to three years without drinking water and sewage systems, and three or more years without hospitals. Those estimates do not apply to the tsunami-inundation zone, which will remain all but uninhabitable for years.”
