The Cariboo Regional District Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) has issued an evacuation order late Sunday, Aug. 4 for eight parcels in the area immediately south of the Chilcotin River’s confluence with the Fraser River.
This order covers 962 hectares.
A second evacuation order has been issued for one parcel in the area immediately north of the Chilcotin River’s confluence with the Fraser River. This order covers 350 hectares.
Due to immediate danger to life safety due to flooding caused by landslide, members of the RCMP or other groups will be expediting this action.
You must leave the area IMMEDIATELY. Persons who disregard this Evacuation Order and remain in the Evacuation Order area do so at their own risk. Responders may be unable to assist anyone who remains in the Evacuation Order area.
Anyone in the order area must leave. Stay away from the Fraser River and adjacent riverbanks. Flooding and debris are expected from the Chilcotin River landslide.
Emergency Service Centre (ESS): If you have been evacuated from your primary residence, call 1-250-267-4861 to access Emergency Support Services.
