BC's drought levels are unprecedented this early in the season. We must work together to conserve our water. You can make small changes that can have a big impact - every drop counts. Together we can make sure water is available when people need it most. gov.bc.ca/Drought

Special Public #Avalanche Warning issued by @avalancheca for many mountainous regions across #BC. Effective immediately until end of Monday May 1, 2023. More info & map: avalanche.ca/spaw #SPAW twitter.com/avalancheca/st…

1/2 ❗️There is a special public avalanche warning in place for the mountains of western Canada. A period of strong warming is expected to destabilize the snowpack, producing very large avalanches that may run to valley bottom. Stick to simple terrain and avoid overhead hazard.

On this day in 1976 - a reminder that southwest #BC is an active earthquake zone. A M 5.4 earthquake struck 60 km beneath Pender Island. High-rises in #Vancouver swayed for up to 30 s, windows broke in White Rock, and there were some power outages. earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/pprs-pprp/pubs…
