The effects of last week's storm in the Fraser Valley continue.

For one family, a loophole in emergency funding plans mean they have been left without of the assistance they need to get them back on their feet.

Dave and Lisa Bisschop's automotive shop is now a muddy, unrecognizable mess.

"This is a huge huge blow for a little business," said Lisa.

During last week's heavy rain -- part of the hillside behind their house gave way, sending several giant mudslides onto their home and the garage where they operate their business.

Now the Bisschops will have to find another place for their auto shop, and they have no idea when they can move back into the home.

"The rain has held off for several days so the situation here on the hillsides of Chilliwack is improving, but the danger of more mudslides isn't over yet," said Lisa.

"The risk of a slide is ongoing, in as much as we don't know what's going on underneath the earth, there have been geotechs in the area. There's assessments going on as we speak," said Chilliwack's Asst. Fire Chief Jim MacDonald.

At a public meeting yesterday the provincial government promised financial help for victims of the flood. So far, nearly 60 claims have been filed under the provincial emergency program. But the Bisschops have been told they are might be out of luck -- because of a bureaucratic tax issue.

"In our situation we do one gentleman who's our business partner, who sold one of his prior businesses to come in and be with us, and it falls under the 2007 tax year that they go back to look at, and so basically they're trying to say we get nothing because we happen to have a business partner who has money behind him," said Dave.

Officials with the provincial emergency program will only say the Bisschops' case is still being evaluated.

The couple already came close to losing their home once -- they don't want to face that possibility again.

"We don't know. Don't want to think that far I guess, We don't want to lose our home over this but I guess it's possible if nobody wants to help," said Lisa.
