Deep water is the best defense but when I took Calypso down the west coast of Vancouver Island I did wonder how much warning I would get from the VHF. (no cell coverage north of Tofino)
The Calypso crew and I discussed the plan if the water began running out of the anchorage. We did not come up with anything better than head to sea ASAP. On the inside of Vanc. Isl. and the rest of the Salish Sea a sizable earthquake may be the bigger risk. If a 8+ strikes we could experience basin washing that could make a mess of most marinas.

I think I remember a thread from a number of years ago.
