VANCOUVER — The West Coast Alaska Warning Centre issued a tsunami watch for parts of British Columbia Friday in the wake of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake that rocked Japan.
Affected areas included the North Coast and Haidi Gwaii Islands, the Central Coast including Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Shearwater, and the outer west coast of Vancouver Island from Cape Scott to Port Renfrew.

“What this means is local governments in those zones are advised to activate their emergency plans and stand by for further information,” said Glen Plummer, spokesman for the B.C. Provincial Emergency Program. “As more information becomes available, the provincial emergency coordination centre will provide further updates.
No other areas of coastal British Columbia are at risk.
