ShakeOutBC is giving away 3 free earthquake emergency kits (CONTEST)

Share

If a fire broke out in your house, chances are you’d have a fire extinguisher nearby, but if an earthquake rumbled the ground, would you have an earthquake kit at hand?

Victoria sits in the Pacific Ring of Fire, and over 3000 earthquakes occur in BC each year, making it important to be prepared for an emergency.

That’s why ShakeOutBC, in addition to hosting a province-wide drill, is giving away 3 free earthquake kits to help spread awareness for emergency preparedness.

The winners of the competition can sleep a little more soundly knowing their emergency kits come from F.A.S.T Limited, SOS Emergency Response Technologies, and Total Prepare.

It’s easy to overlook emergency preparations when things are calm and quiet, but if an emergency erupts, you’ll be glad you planned ahead.

You can learn more about ShakeOutBC and earthquake safety on their website.

And don’t forget to register for the Great British Columbia ShakeOut Drill, even the Queen says so.
