More than 200 Langley residents are on evacuation alert as river levels remain high in the Fraser River. Even as parts of Grand Forks and other Interior towns have been flooded, wildfires have begun again in a few areas.

In addition, B.C. is part of the “ring of fire” and susceptible to earthquakes.

How prepared would you be in the event of a major natural disaster or local emergency? Do you know what sort of things you would need to have prepared?

Flood, earthquake, and wildfire can strike many parts of B.C., including Langley. If a disaster affected your home or neighbourhood, would you be ready?
