Extreme Weather Is Our New Normal. How Do We Prepare?

Episode Summary

As one extreme weather event after the other has rocked the Island and BC as a whole, we explore if it's time to stop calling these events "rare" or "anomalies." Should we begin to expect the unexpected? We speak to CBC Meteorologist and Climate Reporter Johanna Wagstaffe to find out. We also speak with Esquimalt Mayor and CRD Environmental Services Committee chair Barb Desjardins to learn how municipalities are preparing for the inevitable.
