Continued Flood risk for BC

With warm temperatures forecast for the start of May, it looks like flood warnings are going up for the north and central areas of BC, and the Lower Mainland. A warm May could also bring an early start to this summer's fire season.

Low-level flooding has already begun in the Houston area of northern B.C. and some parts of the Peace River region.

This past week, the Federal government gave B.C. $16.5 million to help control flooding along the Fraser River.
