summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Earthquakes occur regularly in B.C., but most do not significantly impact people. However, it is widely accepted that a major earthquare capable of causing extensive damage is inevitable. Currently, B.C. does not have a way to address the potential movement of property boundaries that could result from such an earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Province is exploring approaches to reinstating parcel boundaries, if necessary, after a significant earthquake. The goal is to ensure that parcel boundaries can be re-established in a consistent manner. This will support the recovery of the province after a major earthquake event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2025\/03\/Intentions-Paper-Restoring-Legal-Boundaries-After-an-Earthquake.pdf\" title=\"\">Intentions Paper (PDF, 800KB)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related engagements<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"related-engagements\">\n                                    <div class=\"govtogether-engagement-card\" aria-label=\"Engagement title: 100 Mile House Forest Landscape Plan.
