The Canadian federal government and B.C. government are set to update the public on their collective efforts to respond to natural disasters and prepare for climate change.

Federal Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair and B.C. Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth will hold a press conference at 12:15 p.m. PT.

Blair and Farnworth recently concluded their fifth and final meeting of a joint provincial and federal committee on disaster response and climate resilience.

Both Blair and federal International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan have visited the fire-razed village of Lytton in recent weeks to announce $77 million in rebuilding funds, and assure residents that additional support is on the way.
