‘Precautionary measure’: City of Kamloops activates Emergency Operations Centre
Jun 20, 2022 | 4:11 PM
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops has activated its Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) due to the rising river levels.
The EOC is now at a Level 1 — with the City saying both the North and South Thompson Rivers are vulnerable to heavy rainfall over the coming weeks.
The rivers are peaking at an unseasonably late time due to delayed snowmelt this spring.
Activation of the EOC is described as a precautionary measure “that enables the City to respond quickly should the situation worsen, and allows access to additional resources as needed.”
