ABBOTSFORD, British Columbia—Canada deployed the air force on Wednesday to help British Columbia deal with massive floods that killed one person, with more rain expected in coming days.
Mayor Henry Braun said the station was running at full capacity. Volunteers built a dam around the station overnight, he said. Several places have been completely cut off and food was starting to run low in the town of Hope, 100 miles east of Vancouver."There is not much left in the grocery stores. They just can't restock, there is no way to get through," he told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp, saying that although some food had been airlifted in, there was just a day's supply left.
Environmental scientists say wildfires are becoming more frequent and larger due to climate change. Combined with drought that has hit the province, the fires can limit the ability of soil and vegetation to absorb large amounts of water.
