B.C. has declared a state of emergency for the third time this year, amid deadly landslides and floods. Our thoughts are with the families of people killed or still missing, and all those left stranded or homeless by B.C.'s latest climate disaster. #BCflood 
Thank you to the local officials, First Nations governments, search and rescue teams, Gurdwaras, first responders and thousands of volunteers working around the clock to take care of those in need.
We are alarmed by the slow response of the provincial government, which was warned about the coming deluge last Friday and failed to get people out of the path of danger.
We are frustrated by acting Premier Mike Farnworth's attempt to shift responsibility for disaster prevention and response.
And we are dismayed by the Horgan government's continued promotion of pipelines, fracking and fossil fuel expansion, which guarantee extreme weather events will keep getting worse.
It's time for a clear-eyed look at the future of our province, and the steps we need to take to limit trauma and loss of life in the disasters yet to come.
For now, to support those affected by the floods, here's a growing list of community-led mutual aid efforts, and verified fundraisers. 350canada.medium.com/the-climate-em…
