Residents currently under Evacuation Alert in Electoral Area C and the Village of Pemberton are advised to Shelter in Place if they can safely remain at their current location.
The expanded Evacuation Alerts remain in effect.
The Pemberton Valley Dyking District is advising that Pemberton Creek Bridge by One Mile Lake may overflow onto Highway 99, potentially cutting off road access south towards Whistler with little warning. Heavy rain also increases the risk of landslides, flooding and debris affecting travel routes. If you can safely stay where you are, avoid non-essential travel. Keep medications, essential supplies, grab-and-go bags and your phone ready.
Residents are advised:
• Road travel may be dangerous in the coming hours.
• Exercise extreme caution on all roads in the Pemberton Valley.
If you want to leave Pemberton
If medical needs or other circumstances mean you cannot remain in Pemberton if road access is lost, please make arrangements to leave as soon as possible while your route is safe and open. Check DriveBC immediately before travelling to ensure there are no road impacts before you leave Pemberton. Follow all closures and directions from emergency personnel.
Call 911 if you are in immediate danger, need urgent medical help or cannot leave safely because of flooding and need emergency assistance. Never walk or drive through floodwater.
