B.C. is experiencing heightened seismic activity as part of the active Ring of Fire, with multiple large earthquakes reported globally, though experts say they are coincidental and not linked. Dr. John Cassidy emphasizes the region's earthquake risk and the importance of preparedness.

• B.C. is on the Ring of Fire, which is currently very active with multiple large earthquakes reported in Venezuela, Japan, Philippines, New Guinea, and California.
• Dr. John Cassidy states that the simultaneous earthquakes are a coincidence and not linked, with aftershocks expected but not affecting distant regions.
• B.C. experiences around 2,000 earthquakes annually, most small and unnoticed, with damaging quakes occurring about once a decade and large ones every few centuries.
