Residents should be prepared in case of any emergency and have a Grab ‘n Go emergency kit ready.

Kits should contain supplies of food, water, medications, toiletries, clothing, and important documents. Residents may want to consider moving valuable items to upper floors of their homes.

The FVRD’s website (fvrd.ca/EOC) will provide the most up-to-date information available, as the 2018 freshet continues.
