The Canadian province of British Columbia is dishing out $40 million to help communities prepare for the effects of climate change.
The Disaster Resilience and Innovation Funding (DRIF) program will provide funds to local governments and First Nations to help them deal with droughts, extreme temperatures, floods, sea-level rise, storms, tsunamis, and seismic safety, reports the CBC.
The money will be doled out over two years, with the first $15 million going out in 2024.
The program is part of the province's new Flood Strategy, which says key flood management duties will be assigned to local governments as part of a locally-led approach, reports the Vancouver Sun.
