Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Georgia Strait Fault - Magnitude 7.0

Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Georgia Strait Fault - Magnitude 7.0 In 1997, a magnitude 4.6 earthquake occurred 3 to 4 km beneath the Strait of Georgia. This scenario visualizes the effects of that event if it had a magnitude of 7.0, and represents a strong ground shaking event that could strike Metro Vancouver. 2023-06-20 Natural Resources Canada nicky.hastings@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyGeological mapsEarth sciencesEarthquakesEmergency preparedness 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 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 Georgia Strait Fault - Magnitude 7.0 (Points)GPKG https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios/releases/download/v1.2.2/dsra_acm7p0_georgiastraitfault_indicators_b.zip Georgia Strait Fault - Magnitude 7.0 (Polygons)GPKG https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios/releases/download/v1.2.2/dsra_acm7p0_georgiastraitfault_indicators_s.zip Georgia Strait Fault - Magnitude 7.0 Shake MapGPKG https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios/releases/download/v1.2.2/dsra_acm7p0_georgiastraitfault_shakemap.zip M7.0 Georgia Strait (BC)ESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/GeorgiaStraitfault_acm7p0_en/MapServer/ Séisme de magnitude 7,0 dans le détroit de Georgia (Colombie-Britannique)ESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/GeorgiaStraitfault_acm7p0_fr/MapServer/ M7.0 Georgia Strait (BC)WMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/GeorgiaStraitfault_acm7p0_en/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.3.0&layers=3&legend_format=image%2Fpng&feature_info_type=application%2Fgeojson Séisme de magnitude 7,0 dans le détroit de Georgia (Colombie-Britannique) Cartesismique Grille Hex 25kmWMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/GeorgiaStraitfault_acm7p0_fr/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.3.0&layers=3&legend_format=image%2Fpng&feature_info_type=application%2Fgeojson
