A new report from BC Hydro has found that many British Columbians are overconfident and underprepared for storm-related power outages, especially those who live in the Lower Mainland.
The survey's results say over half of those who live in the Lower Mainland think their region is the most prepared for power outages during a storm.
Donaldson says regions that are frequently hit by storms and outages tend to be the most prepared, but are actually less confident. Vancouver Islanders are a close second, with 58 per cent prepared and 53 per cent equipped with kits.
