With the flood situation in many parts of the province beginning to stabilize, the Government of British Columbia has amended its request for federal assistance to support B.C.’s response to flooding.

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

With hot weather forecast through the long weekend for much of the province, Emergency Management BC and the BC Coroners Service urge residents and visitors to take extra care in and around rivers and lakes.

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:

Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) is now available for eligible British Columbians who have been affected by the flooding that began on May 7, 2018.

Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement about flood activity in the British Columbia Interior region:

The Government of British Columbia is encouraging local governments and First Nations communities along the lower Fraser River to prepare for potential flooding, due to increased snowmelt and higher-than-normal temperatures.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development will be presenting a series of information sessions and displays about how individuals and communities can prepare for and recover from wildfires.

British Columbians will now find it easier to “Get Good and Ready” in the event of an emergency, with the new Partners in Preparedness Program.
