Flood Warnings Raised and Evacuation Order Issued in British Columbia as Heavy Rainfall Continues

Flood warnings have been raised across British Columbia's South Coast, including the Pemberton Valley, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky, and North Shore of Metro Vancouver, after more than 200 millimetres of rain fell in some areas within a 24-hour period. The River Forecast Centre upgraded flood watches to warnings, and the Village of Pemberton issued an evacuation order for properties on Airport Road due to rising river levels and significant rainfall. Residents are urged to stay away from river banks due to instability and prepare for continued high winds, heavy rainfall, and possible flooding through the week. Another strong system is expected between Friday and Sunday.
