Forwarding the following message just received from R.D.N. Emergency Preparedness:
Forwarded message:
Your area has received around 115 mm of rain since Friday – that’s enough to keep the ground saturated despite the few times its slackened off. The province has just announced a conference call for emergency management stakeholders shortly, but I can tell you generally now that we are anticipating more heavy rain overnight and into tomorrow.
Heavy rain, combined with high winds and already saturated ground creates conditions ripe for landslide. Landslide is a sudden event, sometimes with catastrophic impacts to people and property – we encourage those residents who may be at risk to activate their personal recovery plans, potentially considering alternative accommodation. It’s also a good time to check in with neighbours who may be new to the area or may need assistance if they have to leave their homes at short notice due to evacuation. Residents should be made aware of this information in advance to allow time to make proactive choices about their safety.
