The City of Grand Forks, about 530 kilometres east of Vancouver, has added 10 properties on the city’s waterfront to its evacuation alert list, as the Granby and Kettle rivers are seeing ‘fast-moving waters represent a significant hazard’
Large swaths of British Columbia’s Interior remain under flood warning as warm weather and heavy rain in the forecast put many communities on high alert for rising water levels.
The announcement, which asks residents to be ready to evacuate on short notice, is in addition to several evacuation alerts that have already been issued in and around Grand Forks, as well as in communities such as Christina Lake and Midway in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. In the nearby Regional District of Central Kootenay, almost 900 properties in the village of Salmo, and its neighbouring communities of Erie and Ymir are under evacuation alert, as well as several properties in Duhamel Creek.
Hundreds of residents in British Columbia’s southern and central Interior have been warned they may have to leave quickly if flood waters move in.
