MSN published a Metro News story quoting David Edgington, a UBC geography professor, for an article about the potentially huge economic cost of a major earthquake in B.C.
Edgington noted that the rebuilding process would be a major undertaking but not catastrophic for the economy.
“I’ve been in Japan, looking at the reconstruction after the 2011 tsunami and the 1995 earthquake in Kobe. The markets thought just one part of the country going under wasn’t the end of the world,” he said.
