CRD EOC stands down with reduced flooding concerns

Courtesy of the Cariboo Regional District:

The Cariboo Regional District’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) is standing down, as the risk of flooding has reduced throughout the region. Some areas may continue to see typical spring flooding conditions and the EOC is prepared to activate in case of any new emergencies.

The Regional District continues to support the recovery efforts in the Nazko area. For recovery questions or concerns, please contact the CRD’s recovery information line at 1-866-759-4977 during business hours. In the event of an emergency, please call the Provincial Emergency Reporting Line at 1-800-663-3456.

Cariboo residents should remain diligent and take steps to prepare ahead of emergencies.
  • Have an emergency plan
  • Prepare personal emergency supply kits for your home, car and work (plan for at least a three-day supply of food and water for each family member)
  • Have a grab-and-go kit ready if you have to leave your home quickly
  • Keep important papers in watertight containers and have a record of your valuables in a safe place
  • Consider arrangements for your pets and any livestock
