🌧️ HIGH STREAMFLOW ADVISORY |
The BC River Forecast has issued a high streamflow advisory for the region.
Storm systems are expected to bring significant rainfall starting today and continuing through next week. Rainfall events are anticipated on Sunday-Monday and again on Tuesday-Wednesday, with potential for heavy precipitation.
⚠️ This means that river levels are rising or expected to rise rapidly, but no major flooding is expected. Minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
Our Operations and Parks staff have been out all week preparing and ready to respond as needed to keep our community safe.
Residents are advised to:
- 🥾🌳Take caution if out hiking
- 🚫 Stay clear of fast-flowing rivers, creeks and potentially unstable riverbanks
- 🐕 Keep pets and small children close to you at all times.
- 🍂 Help keep catch basins clear to prevent localized flooding
