Vancouver Island and the upper Gulf Islands will block most of the Tsunami effect, as they did before, but beware of narrowing inlets with a wide open sea outlet, as these amplify Tsunami energy, ( like Port Alberni).
Recent M6+ activity ( last month) at the intersection of the Juan De Fuca and Pacific plates did not produce any Tsunami effect.
Nelson is also geographically active, so have your kit ready.
Google Canadian earthquakes and find the Canadian earthquake site, there are many more quakes in Canada than are reported.

Hi Mizar,
Thanks for the info, I have looked into the very minor fault line that runs down kootenay lake in Nelson. Very minor and has not been active but who knows what it will do when the shift starts to happen.
The biggest threat here will be forest fires and mt saint helens when it decides to blow or even worse yellow stone, which will probably wipe out the whole of north america. But like I said who knows, all we can do is guess and do our best.
That is why I have been preparing for every senario I can think of and have a safe place to go when times are bad.
Peace be with you my friend
