PRINCE GEORGE -This is Emergency Preparedness Week across Canada and the two local governments are no stranger to calamity.
The Regional District of Fraser Fort George has already issued evacuation orders for the area around Mud River and the City’s Emergency Services Department is keeping a close eye on the water levels in the two rivers that flow through the community.
“Emergency Preparedness Week is the perfect time to focus on what we need to do to be prepared for whatever type of emergency we might face,” says Anita de Dreu, Coordinator of Community Services for the Regional District. “Floods of course and with the warm weather we are anticipating we’re going to have more issues with flooding in residential areas. And we could also be facing wildfire and we’ve seen that in other areas of the province already.”
But while floods are easier to predict, a wildfire is much less so.
