Flooding forces evacuation order, state of local emergency in Pemberton, B.C.

By WNews 1 Min Read

The Village of Pemberton has declared a state of local emergency because of flooding

An evacuation order has been issued for six properties along Airport Road, which include some residential properties, a golf course and adventure tourism companies connected to the airport.

Evacuation alerts are also in place for about 20 other properties in the Pemberton Valley, as several waterways swell with melting snow.

The unseasonable warm spell ushered in by a stream of moisture-laden Pacific air has set daily temperature records and accelerated snowmelt in southwestern B.C.
