Officials in British Columbia say a tsunami advisory issued Tuesday due to a magnitude 8.8 earthquake that hit the Far East region of Russia was a good practice run for a more serious future event.

Emergency Info BC, which provides response and recovery information during emergencies, cancelled the alert at 6:07 a.m. Pacific daylight time (PDT) on Wednesday.

“Local government, regional governments all worked together well, got the message out to get people off the beach and made sure that people were as safe as possible, and thankfully, this time it was a low-key event, but next time we’ll know we’re ready,” Premier David Eby said Wednesday.

Aaron McArthur reports.
