Atmospheric River Flooding Event
Expanded: November 11, 2026, at 9 p.m.
Based on recommendations from the Pemberton Valley Dyking District, an Evacuation Alert has been expanded by the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District to include additional areas affected by flooding caused by the ongoing atmospheric river event.
The SLRD has expanded the Evacuation Alert to include residents and properties within the Electoral Area C portion of the Pemberton Valley.
Properties placed on Evacuation Alert on November 11, 2026 at 4:15 p.m. remain under Evacuation Alert as part of this expanded notification. At midnight, November 12, 2026 the SLRD and Village of Pemberton issued a Shelter in Place Advisory.
This Evacuation Alert is issued due to extremely high river flows and significant precipitation that may result in significant flooding.
Because of the potential danger to life and health, the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District has issued an Evacuation Alert for the following properties:
- All SLRD properties in the Pemberton Valley as outlined in the map below.
- Enter your home address in the SLRD’s mapping dashboard to see if your property is in the Evacuation Alert area.
An Evacuation Alert has been issued to prepare you to evacuate your premises should it be found necessary. Residents will be given as much advance notice as possible before evacuation; however, you may receive limited notice due to rapidly changing conditions.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR AN EVACUATION - WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
- Pre-register for Emergency Support Services online at: ESS.gov.bc.ca
- Locate all family members and designate a meeting area outside of the evacuation area, should an Evacuation Order be called while separated.
- Pack essential items such as government-issued ID, medications, eyeglasses, valuable papers (e.g., insurance, credit, and mortgage information), immediate care needs for dependants and, if time and space permits, keepsakes for quick departure.
- Prepare to move people who may need additional time to evacuate, children and/or neighbours who would require assistance.
- If transportation assistance is needed, call the SLRD Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) at 604-384-7357.
- Prepare to take pets with you and move livestock to a safe area (if possible).
- If you keep livestock, poultry or bees, register for B.C.’s free Premises ID program to help emergency responders identify where animals are located and contact you during floods, fires or other emergencies.
- Arrange transportation and accommodations for all your household members, if possible, and fill the gas tanks of personal vehicles.
- Wait for an Evacuation Order to be issued before evacuating.
