A magnitude 9.0 earthquake has just occurred off the BC coast. A massive tsunami races towards land at the speed of a commercial jet. The Preparedness Now documentary simulates this hypothetical, but realistic disaster scenario and looks at what damage can be expected and what people can do to prepare themselves.
