I experienced my first magnitude 7.0-7.5 earthquake when I was almost 23 months old. It almost knocked me to the ground. That 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake struck Vancouver Island on June 23 at 10:15 a.m.[1] with a magnitude estimated at 7.0 Ms[2] and 7.5 Mw.[6] The main shock epicenter occurred in the Forbidden Plateau area northwest of Courtenay. While most of the large earthquakes in the Vancouver area occur at tectonic plate boundaries, the 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake was a crustal event. Shaking was felt from Portland, Oregon, to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. This is one of the most damaging earthquakes in the history of British Columbia, but damage was restricted because there were no heavily populated areas near the epicentre, where severe shaking occurred. There were, however, a whole series of landslides in the Forbidden Plateau area there were a whole series of landslides blocked streams and rivers to create lakes. The first hikers into the area gave them great names, Landslide Lake, Rock Fall Lake, Earthquake Lake etc.; over time these natural dams were eroded to nothing, leaving nothing but fading memories of those lakes. This earthquake is Canada's largest historic onshore earthquake.[1] Three years later, an earthquake, an M8.1, struck at 8:01 p.m. PDT on August 2, 1949 in Haida Gwaii [formerly Queen Charlotte Islands], an interplate earthquake that occurred on the ocean bottom just off the west coast of the main south island [Graham Island]. The shock had a surface wave magnitude of 8.1 and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of VIII (Severe).

Youth Preparedness
Emergencies and disasters can happen at any time, often without warning. Disaster planning, response, and recovery efforts must take into account the unique needs of children, who make up roughly a quarter of the U.S. population.
Starting or getting involved with a youth preparedness program is a great way to enhance a community’s resilience and help develop future generations of prepared adults. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers numerous resources that can help.
FEMA's Youth Preparedness Council
FEMA created the Youth Preparedness Council (YPC) in 2012 to bring together young leaders who are interested in supporting disaster preparedness and making a difference in their communities, by completing disaster preparedness projects nationally and locally. The YPC supports FEMA’s commitment to involve America’s youth in preparedness-related activities. It also provides an avenue to engage young people by taking into account their perspectives, feedback, and opinions. YPC members meet with FEMA staff throughout their term to provide input on strategies, initiatives, and projects. YPC members also attend the annual YPC Summit in Washington, DC, meet periodically with FEMA representatives, and work to complete a number of emergency preparedness projects. The YPC members are selected based on their dedication to public service, their efforts in making a difference in their communities, and their potential to expand their impact as national supporters of youth preparedness.

National Strategy for Youth Preparedness Education
Developed by FEMA, the U.S. Department of Education, and the American Red Cross, the National Strategy for Youth Preparedness Education presents nine steps partners can take to help build a Nation of prepared youth. The steps focus on building partnerships to enhance youth preparedness learning programs; connecting young people with their families, communities, first responders, and other youth; and increasing preparedness at school.
9 Priority Steps for Creating a Nation of Prepared Youth
  1. Elevate the importance of youth preparedness learning programs at the national, state, and local levels.
  2. Evaluate the quality and effectiveness of existing and new youth preparedness programs.
  3. Support the implementation of youth preparedness learning programs.
  4. Create positive relationships between youth and the first responder community.
  5. Link youth preparedness to family and community participation, especially in communities where English may not be the first language spoken (or understood) among adults, in other underrepresented communities, and inclusive of individuals with access and functional needs.
  6. Make school preparedness a key component of youth preparedness.
  7. Build and strengthen productive partnerships among stakeholder agencies and organizations.
  8. Identify opportunities to embed youth preparedness in youth culture.
  9. Design a sustaining, locally driven model for developing, designing, and delivering programming.

Start a Youth Preparedness Program
Anyone can start a youth preparedness program. Establishing one takes effort, but many resources are available to help new and potential program leaders through the process. Developed by FEMA, the Youth Preparedness: Implementing A Community-Based Program (Implementation Guide) will walk you through seven steps to implementing a youth preparedness program, and the Youth Preparedness Program Implementation Checklist will help you ensure that you have not missed any steps. Please note that some of the youth preparedness program implementation materials are available in Spanish .
Below is a brief overview of the seven steps to implementing a successful youth preparedness program.
Step 1: Getting Started
To ensure a successful youth preparedness program, a program leader must begin by assessing the needs of the community, identifying the goals of the program, and securing the necessary financing and resources to facilitate a smooth launch. The first step involves deciding what to include in the program. For example, will it include information and training on a particular type of disaster, or general information about family preparedness and/or emergency response? Once you have identified your community’s needs, you will be able to establish a focus for your youth program.
Step 2: Engaging Partners
Youth preparedness requires collaboration. The second step in implementing a youth preparedness program is to identify and secure partners, and to define the roles and responsibilities for each partner. To get started, refer to the Partnership Checklist in the Implementation Guide .
Step 3: Identifying Your Curriculum
A variety of youth preparedness programs exist already, each one designed to meet the needs of different communities and the different age groups of youth participants. The third step involves determining who your audience is, choosing what topics to focus on, and identifying a curriculum that meets the demands of those audiences and topics. The FEMA Youth Preparedness Catalog: Disaster Preparedness Education Programs and Resources lists a number of curricula that may work for you. Email fema-youth-preparedness@fema.dhs.gov to request printed copies of Student Tools for Emergency Planning (STEP) .
Step 4: Implementing Your Program
Once your curriculum is in place and your instructors and other staff have been trained, it’s time to put your program into action. The fourth step includes determining scheduling, locations, staffing, and other logistics as you launch your program. The FEMA Youth Preparedness Program Implementation Workbook includes various activities to help you think through the effectiveness of your implementation process.
Step 5: Promoting Your Program
Once your program is implemented, raising program awareness within your community is an important next step. This involves mapping out your promotional plan, securing the appropriate budget and staffing for each promotional effort, and executing these initiatives.
Step 6: Evaluating Your Program
Evaluating your program helps to drive program improvements and, ultimately, leads to greater success. There are many evaluative methods you can and should employ. The sixth step involves creating your evaluation plan and managing logistical concerns as you conduct your evaluation.
Step 7: Sustaining Your Program
As program leader you should create a formal sustainability plan that lays out clear goals and objectives to ensure the long-term success of your program. The final step involves developing this plan. Planning includes steps for working with community partners to generate greater program exposure, establishing a working group, exploring various funding sources, and updating your curriculum.
