In my career, I have never been more concerned than I am for what this province will face in the next ~36 hours.

#BCwildfires
There is the chance of (some) rain for a few areas by Sunday night / Monday, but between then and now we will have to navigate one of the most volatile combinations of natural and human factors that many of us have ever seen.
An unprecedented wildfire season, our second major heat event, and the looming fourth wave of the pandemic are coalescing in to one critical period.

And: short of a complete and unseasonal weather shift, we have at least another month of wildfire activity ahead of us.
All aboard the platitude express, but: we need to be prepared, we need to be present, and we need to be patient.
So, if you live "beyond Hope", please: have a plan, a tank full of gas, and a backup plan.

If you feel like your safety is at risk, don't wait to be told by authorities to leave.

See you all in September.

For obvious and very prudent reasons, we’re seeing an influx in Skype / FaceTime interviews on the television.

A lot of them look and sound...not great.

As someone who has done more Skype interviews with media than the average bear, some tips: (1/10) #COVID19 #FlattenTheCurve
- Whenever possible, use Ethernet (plugged directly in to your router or modem with a network cable), not WiFi. You may have “fast” WiFi speeds, but the packet movement of a wired connection works much better for Skype. (2/10)
- Consider your lighting. Try to position yourself so that you’re facing a window and natural light is hitting your face. It looks better, and the camera doesn’t have to work as hard at artificially increasing the brightness. This makes for a better connection. (3/10)
