The BC River Forecast Centre is maintaining a Flood Watch over the Shuswap Region, which includes South Thompson tributaries such as the Shuswap River. A Flood Watch means that the river levels are forecast to rise and will approach or may exceed the river bank. Flooding of areas adjacent to affected rivers may occur.
Sand and sandbags are available for free at the Public Works Yard at 2308 McGowan Street. Please bring your own shovel.
The public is cautioned to stay clear of river banks and avoid going on the river in human-powered vessels, such as an inflatable, stand-up paddle board, kayak, or canoe. The Shuswap River is unseasonably high and fast at the time of year and banks may be unstable.
