How a tsunami advisory may be a wake-up call for island emergency preparedness

from This is Vancouver Island

For 12 hours this week, islanders and coastal B.C. residents were watching for news of a tsunami. It didn’t arrive, but it did give us a chance to figure out the difference between a “watch,” an “advisory,” and a “warning,” and whether we even get notifications. This week’s episode catches up on what we learned - including that drones can help spread the news to remote areas.
