“Full report” (700 pg PDF): “5.6 Cascadia Megathrust M9.0 Earthquake during wildfire season”
The scenario:
"On a morning in August, during wildfire season and a heatwave, megathrust (subduction interface) a magnitude
9.0 (M9.0) earthquake occurs offshore of Vancouver Island. Minutes of strong shaking are felt across the region—on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland—and as far south as northern California.”
Light reading! :)

Oh look... LNG doesn't make Earthquake disaster response easier either!

“Energy”
The initial earthquake and ongoing aftershocks cause extensive damage to power plants, transmission lines and
substations, leading to prolonged power outages across the region. Damage is also likely to impact major fuel processing and storage locations and LNG refining sites, which are coastal based. These include two Indigenous-led LNG projects (Ksi Lisims and Cedar— Nisga’a and Haisla).”
