Description
The objective of this Project is to increase awareness of the national Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system through public education and engagement materials and activities, particularly among communities and populations in seismically active areas and disproportionately at risk.
Description (French)
L'objectif de ce projet est d'accroître la sensibilisation au système national d'alerte précoce aux tremblements de terre (EEW) par le biais de matériel et d'activités d'éducation et d'engagement du public, en particulier parmi les communautés et les populations des zones sismiquement actives et disproportionnellement à risque.
Expected Results
The project will increase community resilience in BC by improving understanding of EEW and protective measures that individuals need to take when an alert is received and before strong shaking occurs. To ensure First Nations and local government are well informed and to educate the population about EEW, the proponent will incorporate EEW into materials and conduct public education campaign and advertising campaign activities.
Expected Results (French)
Le projet augmentera la résilience de la communauté en Colombie-Britannique en améliorant la compréhension de l'EEW et des mesures de protection que les individus doivent prendre lorsqu'une alerte est reçue et avant que de fortes secousses ne se produisent. Pour s'assurer que les Premières Nations et le gouvernement local sont bien informés et pour éduquer la population au sujet de l'EEW, le promoteur intégrera l'EEW dans les documents et mènera des activités de campagne d'éducation publique et de campagne publicitaire.
