Malki was one of several Pierrefonds-Roxboro residents who received a visit from the borough's mayor, Dimitrios Jim Beis, Tuesday. Beis went door to door with police officers and members of the local fire department, distributing flood preparation pamphlets, explaining what to include in an emergency kit and making sure anyone who lives near the waterfront has a three-day plan in the event their neighbourhood floods this spring. "First of all, it's how to protect their home and belongings," Beis told CBC. "We distribute sand bags. We've even created videos on how to protect your home and your basement windows … how to protect important documents."
