Im living on the Ring of fire as its called same one that Japan deals with.
Luckily we are on this side of it
Vancouver island is in a rising position when the plates push on each other but it also splits the island in half right in the middle of the island where I live. The 20 mile inlet Im on is actually a fault line that cuts the island in half 2/3rds of its width , only 1/3 of the island is connected by land here. Its bad place to be on Vancouver island when the "Big One" hits. as we call it. Hope I'm south or north of here if it happens. The capital of B.C Victoria 150 miles from here on the southern tip of Vancouver island is expecting the same earthquake to hit them complete with Tsunami , it has its own set of problems as its a ocean front City built on flat low soft land.
My home in Port Alberni is in the center under the small n in the "Nanaimo" city that's on the other side of the island
And last is this image of the Province to get a idea of the islands likely hood of a Earthquake
