2025 K to 12 Educator Survey

Educator Survey: Earthquake Preparedness & Emergency Education Needs "BC Earthquake Alliance (BCEA)"

Educator Survey: Earthquake and Tsunami Preparedness Education Needs

BC Earthquake Alliance Society

The BC Earthquake Alliance Society is a non-profit organization committed to increasing earthquake and emergency preparedness across British Columbia. As part of our strategic plan to strengthen education outreach and classroom readiness, we are working with educators to better understand what’s needed to support effective emergency preparedness education in schools.

This survey is part of a coordinated effort to shape training, develop age-appropriate classroom resources, and offer direct support where it’s needed most. Your input will help ensure that both teachers and students feel confident and equipped when it comes to earthquake safety.

Thank you for helping us build safer, more resilient learning environments.

We are offering an incentive of a deluxe two-person 72 hour emergency kit, or a ShakeOut BC Classroom Pack! The draw will be made on May 8th.

If you have any questions, please contact Christine Buttkus, Executive Director, BC Earthquake Alliance Society, at cbuttkus@bcearthquakealliance.ca.
