CRD activates its Emergency Operations Centre
WILLIAMS LAKE — High stream flows and flooding have prompted the Cariboo Regional District to activate its Emergency Operations Centre (EOC).
“We’re just activated here to support, to provide sandbags as needed and be available if people need support if they’re experiencing any flooding,” says spokesperson Emily Epp. “Also, if their access is cut off due to flooding, we’re just asking people to stay in place and to stay safe, but if they need any assistance they can give us a call.”
The CRD’s public information line at 1 (866) 759-4977 between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. After hours residents are asked to call the Provincial Emergency Reporting Line at 1 (800) 663-3456.
