Members across the country have
British Columbia residents in their
thoughts after weeks of record rainfall,
flooding and landslides, which created
perhaps the country’s most expensive
natural disaster ever seen. Emergency
response efforts are just shifting into
recovery mode.
Many communities were isolated by
floods, landslides and bridge washouts;
people are missing and there are five
reports of death. Farming communities
are devastated by flooding, hundreds of
thousands of farm animals have died,
and food and water supplies are
contaminated.
