Increased flooding risks, roads, and land management practices: What's the link?

This is an extended version of the version that was originally broadcast. As rains once again battered Vancouver Island over the weekend, multiple regions grappled with the risk of flooding. For a period on Monday there were evacuation notices covering parts of Chemainus and a campground in Parksville. UBC professor Younes Alila says that while governments and media outlets are often quick to point to climate change as a driver of more frequent atmospheric rivers and increased flood risks, he feels more attention needs to be given to the role of forest management practices, especially clear cut logging in creating conditions for dangerous floods. He spoke with Midcoast Morning. We also speak with Trace Acers from the Road Safe at Work program about driving during periods of heavy rain.
