The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen Emergency Operations Centre (RDOS EOC) has issued an Evacuation Alert for properties in Electoral Area H within the communities of Coalmont and Tulameen.

Due to increased erosion of floodworks on the Tulameen River, particularly between Tulameen River Road and Coalmont, the province is undertaking works to repair Shatford Dyke. On that assessment, Emergency Management BC (EMBC) has approved an Expense Authorization Request to complete the works and the Ministry of Forests has approved the works in the river. The works are expected to be complete by the end of next week.

The RDOS EOC continues to monitor water levels across the region. Sand and sandbags are available at the locations and listed below and on the interactive map. An informational video on how to prepare sandbags is available, along with more preparedness tips at https://emergency.rdos.bc.ca
