An atmospheric river is causing extreme rain, flooding, and even landslides
in several regions of British Columbia. If you are worried about how this
extreme weather will impact your museum or community, the BCMA has compiled
a list of helpful resources below.

To find up-to-date information about this, or any emergency, we recommend
referring to Emergency Info BC for official updates (visit their website
<https://www.emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca/> or follow them on Twitter
<https://twitter.com/EmergencyInfoBC?s=20>). DriveBC also provides regular
official updates on road conditions throughout BC (follow them on Twitter
<https://twitter.com/DriveBC?s=20>).

At this time, first responders in affected regions are recommending that
you avoid non-essential travel. Many roads are currently closed or flooded
and the risk of landslides and washouts is high in several communities. If
you are able, you may wish to advise volunteers and non-essential staff to
stay home until further notice (PreparedBC shared some excellent resources
about safe travel on Twitter
<https://twitter.com/PreparedBC/status/1460259766840692746>).

If you are concerned about the safety of your museum or collection, first
remember that your safety and the safety of your staff and volunteers are
always the top priority, *do not place your lives at risk even if your
collection is at risk*...
