How much notice will a person have that their area is going to flood?

While it is difficult to predict, weather patterns and forecasts will be the primary indicator of Fraser River water levels. The City relies on the BC River Forecast Centre for regularly updated flood forecasts. We issue Evacuation Alerts and information notices based on the most up-to-date projections and observed water levels on the Fraser or Alouette Rivers.
