The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) will be engaging in a regional flood and geohazard risk assessment project that will help mitigate the risk of flood-related disasters across the region.
Funding for the project is provided by the National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP), which is funded by Public Safety Canada and Emergency Management BC.
