If you are preparing to return home after recent flooding, Emergency Management BC asks that you take precautions for your personal safety.

In response to Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth’s request for federal support to assist British Columbia's work on flooding in B.C., Farnworth has expressed his gratitude and thanks for the federal government’s commitment to help:

The May long weekend is a great time to travel and visit friends and family.

Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) is now available for eligible British Columbians in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (including municipalities, unincorporated areas and First Nations) who may have been impacted by flooding that began on April 26, 2018.

Communities throughout B.C. are now benefiting from $33.5 million in provincial emergency preparedness funding.

With the potential for continued flooding in the Interior regions of the province, residents need to be vigilant with their safety.

People living either upstream or downstream from the Nicola Lake Dam are being advised to take precautions and prepare for high water levels.

April 15 to 21, 2018, is National Volunteer Week, a time to celebrate the too-often unsung labour of ordinary citizens accomplishing extraordinary feats.

An independent review has credited ministry staff for their professional management of the 2017 Interior floods and has proposed recommendations to keep British Columbians safe.
