To prepare for an earthquake, a Canadian hospital used an earthquake simulator called Shake Zone to replicate the sensations, according to an article on the Goldstream News Gazette website.
The simulator is being brought to British Columbian hospitals by the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) and Health Emergency Management B.C (HEMBC).
“We’ve really made it a priority to better prepare British Columbians for the earthquake risk that we face,” according to an IBC spokesperson. “The science tells us there’s a 30 percent chance of a significant earthquake striking.”
In the article, HEMBC director Gerry Delorme said the simulator has been an eye-opener for those who’ve used it, and having it onsite gives hospital staff an opportunity to prepare.
