Extreme weather preparation
As the effects of climate change worsen, wildfires, floods, and heavy storms are becoming more common across British Columbia. Learn how to prepare your home for extreme weather, and what to do in the event of an evacuation.


Wildfires are a growing concern as dry conditions brought on by climate change contribute to an elevated risk across many parts of the province.
If you live or work in an area of the province where flooding is a high risk, be aware that there are serious gas and electrical safety implications you need to consider and prepare for.




Technical Safety BC recommends homeowners and businesses check that their gas and electrical systems are in good working order and that measures are in place to avoid hazards.
