With spring on the way, British Columbians are encouraged to prepare for possible climate related hazards.
The Province is encouraging people to prepare for possible flooding, extreme heat, drought, and wildfires with the incoming warmer temperatures.
It’s recommended that people assemble an emergency kit with essentials like water, non-perishable food, medicine, and a first aid kit and establish an evacuation plan.
Flooding may occur in the spring and early summer months with warmer temperatures melting snowpacks and raising water levels.
People in low lying areas are encouraged to move their equipment and other assets to higher ground and keep perimeter drains, eavestroughs and gutters clear.
Though the province is also advising the public of extreme heat and drought, with October 2022 being one of the driest and warmest Octobers on record.
