Since the Southern Alberta floods in June 2013, EVDS professor Tang Lee had been fielding calls and e-mail inquiries from building owners about how to remediate their houses after the Alberta flood of 2013. Lee, who specializes in mold and environmental health, has also commented to media on how to mitigate damages to houses that are on the flood plain which are likely to be flooded again in the future.

Lee has appeared on CBC radio three times, including once on July 17, 2013 when he was interviewed by Judy Aldous on the Homestretch. He answered questions from the public that phoned in as well as those who e-mailed or texted in during the live show. The previous day, Lee was also interviewed with Doug Dirks on the Homestretch on ways people can flood-proof thier homes. The audio from that interview can be found of the CBC Homestretch here: http://www.cbc.ca/homestretch/episode/2013/07/16/flood-proofing/

As well on July 3, 2013, Lee presented his ideas for the remediation of houses for the Calgary Real Estate Board (CRED) in a seminar to members across Southern Alberta. A recording of that seminar can be found here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hvww1RyoqU&feature=youtu.be
