| Abstract/Description or Keywords | The intent of this report is to produce a chronological list of flood events for the southern part of British Columbia. Together these two catalogues of historically important storm and flood events will provide a better understanding about the occurrence and magnitude of such devastating events in British Columbia. The geographic area covered in this study is the southern half of British Columbia roughly from Bella Coola in the west to Quesnel in the Interior and on to the Alberta border in the east and includes Vancouver Island. Some extreme wind and snow events have also been inckuded even though these did not cause flooding or landslide damage. The June 23, 1946 earthquake has been decribed as well. Unless stated otherwise, damage amounts are in dollar values of the time of the event. landslide, flood, terrain stability, geomorphology, debris flow |
