Jim:
The Chilliwack Museum and Archives may find itself in a similar situation to
K'san later this week. In particular, our archives and object storage area
are in the flood plain, although protected by dikes at this point. We have
made arrangements to move our entire collection to higher ground (at a
minimum cost of $10,000 and up to $45,000) but have not yet made the
decision to move. We are in close touch with our City's emergency planners.
Right now it looks like the rain situation that is developing could worsen
the situation up north, and within 3 to 5 days, down south. We have already
moved some of our archives to a safer storage area and are packing some
material to make a move easier.
We have checked with our insurance company. We have no coverage for
preventative measures. If there is a flood, we have a $10,000 deductible.
That is small comfort though. Saving our collection is our highest priority.
Chilliwack's dikes are susceptible to over-topping. If a flood warning is
issued we will likely move. The move will take us 3 to 5 days. We obviously
hope that we will not find our ourselves in a flood situation. But, our
entire community is planning. Many hours have already been spent by our
staff on the planning process and packing and moving some of our collection.

Hello Barbara & Others;
I have been in touch with the Ministry about this very situation and they
are very much aware and monitioring the threat of flooding and potential
damage and interruption. The BCMA is also in touch with 'Ksan, and Laurel
Smith Wilson, Executive Director, Curator, has promised to keep us posted of
developments.
The Provincial Emergency Coordination Centre has also been made aware.
The Ministry has also requested at this point to make sure that K'san
inform local government of the situation.
Are any others in this situation?
