Colwood Fire Hall part of the National Earthquake Early Warning System

Colwood Fire Hall is the site of one of Natural Resources Canada's Earthquake Early Warning sensors.
Earthquake Early Warning is the rapid detection of earthquakes, real-time estimation of the shaking hazard, and notification of expected shaking. The national Earthquake Early Warning system provides seconds to tens-of-seconds of notice before strong shaking starts, which can help reduce injuries, deaths, and property losses.
