British Columbia

We can't prevent disasters from happening, but we can prepare to avoid suffering, minimize damage and come through the recovery period as quickly as possible. The following list contains the natural risks and other hazards regularly monitored by the British Columbia Provincial Emergency Program.

You may want to keep a copy of the risks with your emergency plan or in your emergency kit.
