The B.C. government is urging residents to stay vigilant as more storms are expected to hit the province’s south coast, including the hard-hit Fraser Valley in the coming days.

“We are expecting another rain event this Wednesday through Friday, and a series of further storms are expected in the coming weeks,” said Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth in a press conference on Nov. 22, encouraging British Columbians to keep abreast of weather warnings and alerts.
