Working Together - As One
A Flood Warning has been issued by PreparedBC, members need to be informed and prepared for any further advisory notices.
During a Flood Warning:
- Stay Away from Water: Keep clear of swift rivers, unstable banks, and any flooded roads or crossings; even 6 inches of water can sweep you off your feet, and 12 inches can carry a car
- Elevate & Secure: Move furniture, electronics, and valuables to higher floors or in waterproof containers.
- Stay Informed: Tune into local media and obey emergency officials; evacuate immediately if told to
- If Trapped: Go to the highest level (not basement/attic) and signal for help as a last resort.
- Park Safely: Move vehicles away from streams and waterways.
Be Prepared and Plan for possible Power Outages and flooding to basements. Emergency Groups are also asking communities to be prepared for landslides.
Chawathil is monitoring the situation and is working hard to keep the community informed. The Chawathil Gym will be open for all to gather, please stand by for updates.
