Well, it is caused by a record-breaking rainfall that had occurred in the last several days. Authorities have gone ahead, and they have confirmed that there had been one fatal casualty, also can be said as one death which had been coming from a mudslide that happened on Monday.
The sad fact is that the authorities concerned say and anticipate the death toll to rise in the future if the flood goes on.
Officials have also stated, and they have made sure to point out that it could take weeks for the province to recover from the storm’s torrential rain that had been going on for a whole lot of time.
The government of Canada will do their part as they have already sent help by deploying an air force to make sure that the people in need receive the proper help and that the distorted supply chains can be salvaged a little bit.
Of Course, financial help will also be provided to the place along with possible food supplies. “We’re sending help your way,” tweeted the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, on Wednesday.
“We’ve approved the province’s request for assistance, and we’ll have more @CanadianForces members on the ground as soon as possible — to keep you safe, support supply chain routes, and provide other necessary assistance.”
