The Cariboo Regional District's Emergency Operations Centre continues to monitor the Cottonwood River. There has been no change to the status of the evacuation alerts and orders for residents of the Quesnel/Hixon Road and Landry Road area on the Cottonwood River.
Currently there are 14 properties under evacuation alert while two properties are under evacuation order. No further alerts or orders have been issued.
Traffic delays may be experienced in this area as work to protect the properties affected by this event is ongoing, with large equipment, trucks and machinery on the local roads. Current information for main roads throughout the area, and region is available online at www.drivebc.ca
Residents are reminded to use extreme caution at this time of year near on or around waterways as a result of elevated water levels and rapid currents. Rivers, streams and creeks throughout the Region are swollen and should be considered hazardous as warm temperatures this weekend could see increased flows.
Further information will be available as the situation develops. For all inquiries, contact the Cariboo Regional District EOC at 250-398-5117 or, visit the CRD website at www.cariboord.bc.ca
