State of emergency in Brandon, Manitoba

original story
By Brandon Sun

Reflection:

The city council of Brandon declared state of emergency to help fight the flooding of the Assiniboine River.  The state of emergency actually allows the government to remove sightseers and now they are trying to increase the size of the earth dikes. This will also make it easier to evacuate the city if needed, at the meeting they also were concerned about shutting some streets down because they might be unsafe to travel on, the premier of Manitoba has flown down to Brandon to meet with the mayor and will discuss the resources the province has and will use to aid the town of Brandon.

This affects us Canadians very much because this situation might get worse and may cause more harm before it is controlled. This flood might spread to other cities so they should use every resource possible to control this disaster and make proper adjustments to make sure that this does not happen. My brother is visiting a friend in Winnipeg so I hope everything goes okay for him and returns safely, just knowing he is around there is pretty scary for me and knowing that he will have to travel past Brandon on his way back.
