Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Georgia Strait - Magnitude 4.9

Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Georgia Strait - Magnitude 4.9 In 1997, a magnitude 4.6 earthquake occurred 3 to 4 km beneath the Strait of Georgia, near Vancouver. This scenario visualizes the effects of that event if it occurred today with a magnitude of 4.9. A magnitude 7.0 Georgia Strait scenario is also provided, and represents a less likely but more consequential case for comparison. 2023-06-20 Natural Resources Canada nicky.hastings@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyEarth sciencesEmergency preparednessEarthquakesGeological maps GitHub RepositoryHTML https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios Geological Survey of Canada Open FilePDF https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/publications/STPublications_PublicationsST/328/328364/gid_328364.pdf Georgia Strait - Magnitude 4.9 (Points)GPKG https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios/releases/download/v1.2.2/dsra_acm4p9_georgiastraitfault_indicators_b.zip Georgia Strait - Magnitude 4.9 (Polygons)GPKG https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios/releases/download/v1.2.2/dsra_acm4p9_georgiastraitfault_indicators_s.zip Georgia Strait - Magnitude 4.9 Shake MapGPKG https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios/releases/download/v1.2.2/dsra_acm4p9_georgiastraitfault_shakemap.zip Data DictionaryXLSX https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios/releases/download/v1.2.2/dsra_attributes_fr.xlsx Data DictionaryXLSX https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios/releases/download/v1.2.2/dsra_attributes_en.xlsx M4.9 Georgia Strait (BC)ESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/georgiastraitfault_acm4p9_en/MapServer/0 Séisme de magnitude 4,9 dans le détroit de Georgia (Colombie-Britannique)ESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/georgiastraitfault_acm4p9_fr/MapServer/0 M4.9 Georgia Strait (BC)WMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/georgiastraitfault_acm4p9_en/MapServer/WMSServer?layers=3&legend_format=image%2Fpng&feature_info_type=application%2Fgeojson&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities Séisme de magnitude 4,9 dans le détroit de Georgia (Colombie-Britannique)WMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/georgiastraitfault_acm4p9_fr/MapServer/WMSServer?layers=3&legend_format=image%2Fpng&feature_info_type=application%2Fgeojson&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
