Mainland 9 - BC's Natural Disasters

Natalie and Joel discuss some of the worst natural disasters that BC has had to offer! Natalie walks us through snowstorms, windstorms, flooding, landslides, and more! And we learn Joel and Natalie's greatest fears, why it's OK to have an emergency kit, how only you can prevent forest fires (but also seriously, the government can), and how recent so many of these disasters were (oh golly).
