KAMLOOPS — The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has put hundreds of properties in the Nicola and Coldwater basins under evacuation alert due to the threat of more catastrophic flooding.

Saturday afternoon (Nov.. 27), the TNRD issued alerts for Areas I (Blue Sky Country), M (Beautiful Nicola Valley — North) and N (Beautiful Nicola Valley — South). Residents of those areas need to be ready to leave on very short notice.

Maps of the impacted areas can be found below.

Within those areas, there are 49 properties that were previously on evacuation order. Those orders remain in place.

The TNRD says the alert was issued “so that residents in low-laying areas adjacent to vulnerable
rivers, streams, and creeks can prepare to evacuate their premises or property should it be
necessary.”
