To ensure that all B.C. communities receive appropriate tsunami messaging, that is easilyunderstandable using provincial landmarks, Emergency Management BC has divided theprovince into five (5) zones for notification purposes. These zones are reflected on this mapin different colours and the letters A, B, C, D and E.

All tsunami notifications prepared by the Province will refer to these five zones. Each of the fivedesignated zones includes all islands and inlets within the location descriptive.
