The initial disaster is past and now the aftermath is sinking in for government workers and volunteers participating in Exercise Coastal Response in Port Alberni, a multi-agency provincial-level disaster training exercise taking place June 7–10, 2016 on Vancouver Island.
The Alberni Valley News has reporter Katya Slepian embedded with Vancouver's heavy urban search and rescue Task Force 1 team, and reporter Karly Blats is touring the other sites to keep up to date on how the event is playing out in the Alberni Valley.
