Alberta Flooding 2013: Auditor General To Look At Causes, Response, Lessons
Alberta’s auditor general is looking into how the province responded to last month’s record flooding and how it plans to mitigate similar disasters in the future.
“The best use of our resources for Albertans would be to provide independent assurance on the quality of planning and the execution of the government’s current flood mitigation efforts,” Merwan Saher has written in a letter to the NDP, which asked for a review.
Saher said he will begin his investigation after Premier Alison Redford’s government has finished its review on the flooding.
New Democrat Leader Brian Mason earlier this month asked Saher to investigate the government’s response, given the province failed to act on key recommendations to prevent flooding following similar problems in 2005.
