Residents of B.C.'s Central Coast and northern Vancouver Island are bracing for more flooding as forecasters predict as much as 80 millimetres of rain could fall across the region by Tuesday. A weekend deluge washed out roads and cut off several communities near Bella Coola and Port Hardy after 100 to 200 millimetres of rain fell on some coastal areas north of Vancouver. At least 120 people were still out of their homes on Monday morning and many more people remained stranded by the rising waters, said Steven Waugh with the Emergency Operations Centre in Bella Coola.

I personalty think that Vancouver and B.C could have been a lot more prepared in this kind of situation. They new that the storm was coming but they really did not prepare for the worst. I think that they could have set up relief camps for people who had lost there home and also have medical help increased for the time that they new the storm would hit.
