I live in Seattle so this is definitely relevant. I feel totally unprepared for any major earthquake we’ll have, but this is definitely giving me a lot to think about and helping me get my mind wrapped around what will happen.
Great host

It has what-if disasters scenarios well designed after the experiences of Christchurch in 2011. The city's official line is too confident: the schools aren't ready; 72hrs of supplies is not enough; the building codes, though good enough to get us through the "big one", aren't good enough to assure we have a building safe to re-enter after it hits. The podcast is not intending to scare but to inform. I wish everyone on the southwest coast of BC would listen.
Unnerving.

The production quality is amazing. This podcast really pressures you to contemplate how we take for granted the Vancouver area hasn't had to deal with an earthquake yet. We must seriously prepare as a community, and make that an urgent priority.
