Why Canada may not be ready for 'new reality' of flash flooding and severe storms
VANCOUVER — Ryan Ness of the Canadian Climate Institute says he's been following the 'terrible tragedy' of deadly flash flooding unfolding in Texas , where more than 100 people have died. But he's also worried Canada isn't doing enough to prevent such disasters here, saying the country needs to invest in flood mapping, infrastructure and early warning systems. 'Luckily, there are many ways that we can protect ourselves, but we have to make the effort,' said Ness, who is the research director for adaptation at the policy research organization.

'You know, first of all, we have to understand where the risk is.' He said many parts of Canada don't have flood maps, 'so it's hard to know where to protect or where to send warnings.' Flood warning systems are also needed to help people in the path of flash floods 'prepare or get away, if they can,' while long-term infrastructure upgrades are needed to protect risk zones. 'In some cases, that means putting things in the houses like backflow valves that keep sewers from backing up,' he said. 'Or it can mean building flood walls along rivers to keep flooding from happening. Or it can mean making sure that city planning doesn't allow more new housing in flood risk zones.' The raging flash floods in Texas — among the worst in the United States in decades — slammed into camps and homes along the Guadalupe River before daybreak Friday. Some survivors were found clinging to trees. The disaster has put a focus on both the risk of flash flooding as well as how to predict or prevent it. Ness warned that climate change is making flash flooding worse and many Canadian cities, provinces and territories don't have laws in place to prevent development in dangerous areas. He called increased risk of flash flooding and more severe storms 'the new reality.' Flash floods have stuck across Canada over the past year, including Coquitlam, B.C., where an atmospheric river rain event triggered a mudslide that killed a teacher in October, and Toronto, where torrential rain overwhelmed drainage last July and caused about $990 million in insured losses. Ness said that in hilly areas of B.C.'s Interior with fast water runoff, flash floods can sweep away people's homes with 'very little warning.' He said flash flooding can be made worse in areas burned by wildfire, where soil that is no longer held together by plant life 'is much more likely to maybe turn into a mudslide or a landslide.' He said other risk areas are in Alberta in the front ranges of the Rockies featuring lots of rock and little absorbent soil. 'When it does rain, it can flow downhill very quickly. The town of Canmore (in Alberta), for example, has identified this as a major risk and has a strategy to try to deal with it,' said Ness. Massive floods hit the town in 2013. In Montreal and Toronto, flash floods are usually due to paved areas with no soil to soak up heavy rain, Ness said. 'And the water rises very quickly in rivers and streams that run through those areas, and it also rises very quickly in sewers, and that's what backs up into people's basements most often, and causes basement flooding,' said Ness. He said Toronto has a multibillion-dollar strategy to improve storm sewers. But it takes a long time to find that much funding, and the type of disruptive construction required isn't an easy fix. 'That's another reason to start making these investments as soon as possible, because it is going to take some time. But climate change isn't going to wait,' said Ness. He said Canada needs to adapt for flash flooding much more quickly. 'There are many smart engineers and government officials who know what to do, but we need to support and invest in the projects to adapt to this new reality. Otherwise, we are not going to be ready.' — with files from The Associated Press

Leo Lanussol: 'Ness is Proper 2.0'
After marking a before and after in the Buenos Aires scene with Proper, Leo Lanussol surprised again with Ness, an intimate, experimental restaurant with a punk spirit that quickly became a new cult spot. In this conversation, the chef and musician recalls his early days among pots and guitars, reflects on the current state of Argentine gastronomy, and explains why Ness is, for him, a more conscious and perfectionist evolution of everything he had already started building. Do you remember the moment you said 'I want to cook'? Yes, I was 17 years old, playing in a punk band and cooking for the whole band. I saw the band wasn't going anywhere and, since I had to support myself at 18, it was like, 'Well, here in the kitchen, there's a career path.' Was it a sudden flash or something that slowly developed? It was a sudden flash because I started, got hooked, and couldn't stop. I've been cooking for 23 years now. After Proper, which was a big hit, you launched Ness, which has a different vibe—more intimate, more ritualistic. How did that idea come about and what were you feeling at that moment? When I created Proper, I was a disruptive person, like I am today, but with an unconsciousness I now manage differently. I think what having Proper gave me was understanding that dreams can come true. Today, Ness is Proper 2.0. It's still disruptive, still punk, but with a daily pursuit of continuous perfection. How do you see Argentine gastronomy today? What excites you and what frustrates you when you look at the current scene? I really like everything happening with the union of young chefs. I love that we share, that there are buying pools. I like sharing suppliers and recipes. I think there's a socioeconomic issue affecting all of us. I talk about the gastronomic world that used to be nice when you'd meet with a chef from another restaurant and they'd say, 'Yesterday I went to Julia or Gran Dabbang.' Now, those conversations have shrunk or become: 'I went to eat at the little grill around the corner.' I think that's what's happening today: gastronomy is becoming something for few people, and that's what hurts me the most. "Gastronomy is becoming something for few people, and that's what hurts me the most" Your cooking relies a lot on intuition and letting the ingredients speak. Do you often clash with what is expected of 'a restaurant' today? I work daily with imperfection-perfection, which is a contradiction, but after all, it's what we do: making rustic things look beautiful and letting the ingredients shine without having to add things. Simply cooking them with love and passion. What dream do you still want to fulfill as a chef? Is there some crazy idea on your 'someday…' list? I'd love to have a restaurant on the beach for 10 people and cook without pressure. Simply wake up in the morning, go to a market, get the catch or vegetables of the day, and cook a very simple menu based on what I found. Then surf in the morning and afternoon. "I'd love to have a restaurant on the beach and cook without pressure" Porteño Ping Pong with Leo Lanussol A porteño dish you love: milanesa with mashed potatoes. A food you would never cook: so hard, but maybe something with intestines, very countryside things I'm not used to eating. I like to try them, but I don't know how to cook them. A porteño street to get lost walking: San Telmo has a very European vibe. Argentines forget that Buenos Aires is as beautiful as Paris or Madrid. A neighborhood bar you never fail to visit: I always go to Lo de Charly after concerts with friends, to eat something at that famous, beautiful 'tachero' spot. The entraña never fails. An unconfessable gastronomic vice: when I worked in Japanese restaurants, I couldn't stop eating raw fish. An Argentine chef who blows your mind: I really like Francis Mallmann, all his spirit, his environment, and his way of seeing life. I also really like Narda Lepes, all the fight she leads around food and the values she brings to Argentine tables.
