City better prepared for flood threat says official
Officials say Medicine Hat avoided widespread damage as the South Saskatchewan River forecasts suggest more flow. Mitigation materials rose to 9.7 kilometres of tools, more manpower, and improved planning reflect a different response from 2013. Ron Robinson notes strong city council and provincial support driving progress. No evacuations reported.

Alberta to end LandLink disaster relief contracts in 2014
Alberta's municipal affairs minister Greg Weadick says LandLink, the contractor handling province flood relief claims, will have a limited role if new claims arise in 2014. The province will let LandLink's contract expire at year end and pursue a largely government-led disaster relief process, with a swift on the ground implementation plan if a DRP is declared. The move follows criticism of LandLink amid 2010 and 2013 flood costs and audits noting shortfalls.
