In response to extreme rainfall and flood warnings, the Cariboo Regional District is activating its Emergency Operations Centre.
Some areas in the West Chilcotin are experiencing such high stream flows that the BC River Forecast Centre has declared a flood watch for the area.
Multiple roads in the area, including sections of Farwell Canyon Road, and Highway 20 are experiencing washout conditions.
Those living near rivers and creeks are being urged to be ready to leave at a moment’s notice and to keep their distance from possibly-unstable waterbanks.
