British Columbia Premier John Horgan and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Friday a joint committee of ministers to address disaster response and climate resilience and have agreed to match Canadians donations to Red Cross flood relief.

Trudeau and Horgan made the announcements after meeting to discuss the deadly landslides and floods that have devastated southwestern British Columbia.

The new committee will be co-chaired by federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and B.C. Public Safety Minister Mike Farnsworth.

“(It will) map out the way forward here in British Columbia and establish a model for how we’re going to move forward as a country facing extreme challenges like this,” Trudeau said.

The fallout of the Nov. 14 atmospheric river is shaping up to be the most expensive natural disaster in Canadian history and while Horgan said it was “premature” to talk about dollar figures, he acknowledged “the dollars, the costs will start to mount.”
