CRD working on ‘re-entry process’ for Nazko Valley

May 7, 2018 | 3:04 PM

NAZKO VALLEY — Update: The CRD says it will be downgrading both evacuation orders for the Nazko area to an evacuation alert, which means residents will be allowed to return to the area Tuesday morning at 9 a.m.

Earlier: Reason for optimism in the Nazko Valley.

Although the evacuation order remains in place for the area, the risk of flooding is decreasing so the CRD is currently working through the re-entry process.

However, before the evacuation order can be lifted, the CRD says the following things must be considered:

• Reduced flooding danger
• Danger assessments
• Roads safe
• Emergency services available
• Public utilities established, if applicable
• Re-entry support services established
