Last week was the BC shakeout: an awareness day for safety procedures during an earthquake. The basic steps are drop, cover, and hold on. A more comprehensive guide can be found on the Seven steps to earthquake safety and UBC emergency procedures for an earthquake. If you are indoors, they resume to drop, cover, and hold on.
You can check the latest shake status for Canada here. The issue around Vancouver is that the tectonic plates are stuck so if there is a considerable earthquake it will be a big one.
