With flood warnings for the Okanagan this weekend and the potential for floods in other areas, we are sending this urgent reminder for everyone throughout the province (and beyond) to be prepared for natural disaster emergencies.

This is an urgent message for our members, friends, families, supporters, and all who live in the Okanagan, and a general reminder to everyone to make sure you are prepared for a natural disaster wherever you live.
