Evacuation alert rescinded again for Sicamous Creek Mobile Home Park
SICAMOUS, B.C. — The Sicamous Creek Mobile Home Park has once again been given all clear status.
In an alert posted by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) Wednesday (July 6) morning, the District of Sicamous rescinded its evacuation alert from Sunday (July 3). Previously, due to storms in the area, the CSRD said there was a threat of a landslide near Wiseman Creek – which the Sicamous Creek Mobile Home Park is located at the base of – that could cause danger to life, health, or property.
It’s the fourth time in two months that residences No. 1 through 27 – 5 Highway 97A have been on evacuation alert due to the threat of a landslide. There have been high risks of landslides following the Two Mile wildfire near Sicamous in summer 2021.
The CSRD says due to the ongoing landslide risk in the area, residents are asked to stay informed and pay attention to weather forecasts.
