CRD urges residents to prepare for spring melt
WILLIAMS LAKE — The Cariboo Regional District is preparing to respond to any flood-related emergencies and says its residents should be doing the same.
The concern has been prompted by the spring snowmelt said the CRD’s Emergency Operation Centre Director and Chief Administrative Officer John MacLean.
“This weekend, we were actively monitoring higher than normal stream flows in the region and we are prepared to respond to any flood-related emergencies. High stream flows are just one example of the impacts we could see from spring melt in the Cariboo.”
He says the CRD could also experience debris flows, high water tables or landslides during freshet.
