COMPREHENSION ECRITE :

1. The city of Vancouver needs to invest to get prepared in cas of inundations and strong winds

1. A)  Vancouver is focused on being among the most resilient, livable and green cities in the world. There are other cities that have to deal with this environmental problem.

b) Vancouver wants to take the right steps and adapt to climate change. The city wants to spend $ 1 billion to prepare for the new floods.

         3) The Coastal Flood Risk Assessment report examined five possible models for flooding as a result of rising water, and suggested between 1,700 and 4,800 households would be displaced, depending on how quickly the level increases. Between 5,000 and 14,300 would need shelter, according to the report.

        4) For me, the correct title for the document is "act realistically for the city" because Vancouver is a city at risk and flooding is very likely. They act so that the whole city keeps its shelters because of the strong storms.
