Our neighbour province, British Columbia, has recently declared a state of emergency due to the devastating floods and mudslides. In some areas the high water levels caused many families to be evacuated from their homes. Many areas have already begun to rebuild and repair from the storm, yet more rain and windy weather approaches. This threatens the process the province has made in an effort to get things back to normal. The military, communities, and businesses are coming together to help BC during this challenging time.
Here is what you can do to help:
Donate to the Canadian Red Cross
They are working to get help to the people in and around affected areas as quickly as possible and provide humanitarian assistance.
Donate to the United Way BC
The funds collected will go towards housing, food assistance, trauma and mental health support.
Donate to the BC SPCA Emergency Flood Relief
They are providing emergency pet supplies to evacuees and those stranded, as well as, providing emergency pet boarding in Kamloops for evacuated animals.
Call any friends and family who reside in BC
Check in on them and ask them how they are doing
