Experts estimate that a 7.3 magnitude earthquake would kill nearly 10,000, and injure 128,000 people. We know it’s coming. Are you prepared? Every year on the third Thursday of October, ShakeOut BC Day emphasizes the importance of earthquake and emergency preparedness. According to Karen MacPherson, CEO of St. John Ambulance – British Columbia and Yukon, initiatives like ShakeOut B.C. remind residents that there is no room for complacency when it comes to being prepared for natural disasters. At 10:15 a.m. on Oct. 15, ShakeOut BC encourages everyone to take 60 seconds out of their day to Drop to the ground, take Cover under something sturdy, and Hold on tight. “When panic sets in, it’s difficult to remember what to do, so our advice is to be prepared. Develop your own family emergency plan so that every family member is well equipped, practice putting this plan into action regularly, and prepare an emergency kit,” Ms. MacPherson says. “As B.C.’s auditor general acknowledged last year, British Columbians are not as prepared as they could be, but rather than focusing on the problem, we should focus on the solution. It’s time we leveraged events like ShakeOut BC to empower residents to take responsibility for their own emergency preparedness no matter where they are – at home, at work, or on the road. Experts also advise that preparing for an earthquake is a strategic way of preparing for most natural disasters.” As one of Canada’s leading first aid providers and safety training organizations, St. John Ambulance has developed a series of emergency preparedness kits aimed at providing individuals and families with the resources to be ready for emergencies like an earthquake. They say the key is to plan to be self-sufficent for at least 72 hours. The organization will also be participating in Earthquake Day –a day-long free public event centred around the 10:15 am Shakeout BC Drill on October 15, 2015. Taking place at the Vancouver Public Library at 350 West Georgia St., Earthquake Day will feature the portable UBC shaking table, local and international expert speakers, exhibitions, competitions, and more. The event aims to build awareness about earthquake risk and preparedness in our communities, and to promote and share the exciting work happening in the areas of earthquake mitigation, response and recovery. As you finalize your own preparations for ShakeOut BC Day, St. John Ambulance – BC/Yukon offers these top tips for staying safe in an earthquake: • Move or turn away from window • Drop, cover, and hold to keep from falling over, or being knocked down – remember to protect your head and neck • Look for something solid like a heavy table or desk for protection • If outside – move away from overhead power lines and tall trees, and then crouch low • If in a vehicle, pull over to a safe spot and stay in your vehicle • Be prepared for aftershocks and take protective measures St. John Ambulance also has a blog featuring various articles dedicated to emergency preparedness. Topics include how to develop an emergency and evacuation plan, as well as advice for preparing an emergency kit, and staying safe during different disasters – from earthquakes and wildfires, to floods and tsunamis. To learn more, visit www. emergencyready.ca. Record staffer Leslie Eaton demonstrates proper “drop, cover, hold” technique, in preparation for Wednesday’s ShakeOut BC Drill.

The “Big One” – a megathrust earthquake – has been looming over coastal British Columbia, projecting a catastrophe unseen in the region for over 300 years.
Experts estimate that a 7.3 magnitude earthquake would kill nearly 10,000, and injure 128,000 people.
We know it’s coming. Are you prepared?
Every year on the third Thursday of October, ShakeOut BC Day emphasizes the importance of earthquake and emergency preparedness.
According to Karen MacPherson, CEO of St. John Ambulance – British Columbia and Yukon, initiatives like ShakeOut B.C. remind residents that there is no room for complacency when it comes to being prepared for natural disasters.
At 10:15 a.m. on Oct. 15, ShakeOut BC encourages everyone to take 60 seconds out of their day to Drop to the ground, take Cover under something sturdy, and Hold on tight.
“When panic sets in, it’s difficult to remember what to do, so our advice is to be prepared. Develop your own family emergency plan so that every family member is well equipped, practice putting this plan into action regularly, and prepare an emergency kit,” Ms. MacPherson says.
“As B.C.’s auditor general acknowledged last year, British Columbians are not as prepared as they could
be, but rather than focusing on the problem, we should focus on the solution. It’s time we leveraged events like ShakeOut BC to empower residents to take responsibility for their own emergency preparedness no matter where they are – at home, at work, or on the road. Experts also advise that preparing for an earthquake is a strategic way of preparing for most natural disasters.”
As one of Canada’s leading first aid providers and safety training organizations, St. John Ambulance has developed a series of emergency preparedness kits aimed at providing
individuals and families with the resources to be ready for emergencies like an earthquake.
They say the key is to plan to be self-sufficent for at least 72 hours.
The organization will also be participating in Earthquake Day –a day-long free public event centred around the 10:15 am Shakeout BC Drill on October 15, 2015. Taking place at the Vancouver Public Library at 350 West Georgia St., Earthquake Day will feature the portable UBC shaking table, local and international expert speakers, exhibitions, competitions, and more.
The event aims to build awareness about earthquake risk and preparedness in our communities, and to promote and share the exciting work happening in the areas of earthquake mitigation, response and recovery.
As you finalize your own preparations for ShakeOut BC Day, St. John Ambulance – BC/Yukon offers these top tips for staying safe in an earthquake:
• Move or turn away from window
• Drop, cover, and hold to keep from falling over, or being knocked down – remember to protect your head and neck
• Look for something solid like a heavy table or desk for protection
• If outside – move away from overhead power lines and tall trees, and then crouch low
• If in a vehicle, pull over to a safe spot and stay in your vehicle
• Be prepared for aftershocks and take protective measures
St. John Ambulance also has a blog featuring various articles dedicated to emergency preparedness. Topics include how to develop an emergency and evacuation plan, as well as advice for preparing an emergency kit, and staying safe during different disasters – from earthquakes and wildfires, to floods and tsunamis. To learn more, visit www.emergencyready.ca.
Record staffer Leslie Eaton demonstrates proper “drop, cover, hold” technique, in preparation for Wednesday’s ShakeOut BC Drill.

Year after year, fam-ilies make the trek to farm stands and nurs-eries in rural areas to purchase pumpkins. There among the vines and soil, each person is on the hunt for the per-fect pumpkin to turn into pie or to carve into a gap-toothed jack-o’-lantern. But what if you only had to venture as far as your backyard for the ideal autumn pumpkin? It’s possible when you plan ahead and sow the seeds of your very own pump-kin patch.
Pumpkins are a long-season fruit that requires some advanced soil prep work and planning to ensure a bountiful crop. Pumpkins come in hundreds of varieties of all shapes and sizes. Pumpkins belong to the “cucurbita” family and come in three main categories. Cucurbita Moschata pumpkins belong to a group of mainly squashes that are usually used com-mercially for canned pumpkins. Cucurbita Pepo pumpkins are the ones typically carved on Halloween. Cucur-bita Maxima are the giant pumpkins that show up at state fairs and other vegetable and fruit growing con-tests.
To begin a pump-kin patch, find an area of the yard that gets full sunlight. The soil should have a slightly acidic soil from 6.0 to 6.8 pH. Pumpkins pre-fer a light, rich soil that drains well.

BEING TOGETHER MEANS THE WORLD WHEN YOU HAVE A SICK CHILD.
Here on Vancouver Island, families whose children must travel to Victoria for medical care are fortunate to count on Jeneece Place — a home away from home allowing parents to be with their child through a difficult time. Thanks to its generous donors, Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island opened Jeneece Place in 2012. Your gift of $25 sponsors a night for one family to be near their child, to hold and support each other.
To donate please call 250-519-6977 or visit childrenshealthvi.orgTo donate please call 250-519-6977 or visit childrenshealthvi.orgTo donate please call 250-519-6977 or visit childrenshealthvi.org
