The rain should be settling down this morning after Environment Canada issued rainfall and wind warnings for the area yesterday.

As the fall storm season settles in, the Province is urging British Columbians to be prepared.

Multiple systems have moved in this week, bringing significant rainfall and gusty winds to Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, and coastal regions.

People were being asked to keep storm drains clear to help prevent flooding and to be ready for power outages as trees and branches come down on wet ground.

The River Forecast Centre continues to monitor conditions and will issue advisories or flood warnings as needed.

Emergency officials are reminding residents to have a household emergency plan, prepare grab-and-go bags, and avoid walking or driving through floodwater.
