WILLIAMS LAKE — Cariboo residents are being reminded about the importance of flood preparedness.

The Cariboo Regional District says property owners are responsible for taking the necessary steps on their property to protect their home and property from flooding, while government emergency programs focus on broader flood response measures.

The CRD provides sand and sandbags for property owners as needed, as well as information about sandbag placement and how to prepare for emergencies.

Residents are also urged to have an emergency plan prepared for your home, have an emergency kit on hand, and to sign up for the Cariboo Chilcotin Emergency Notification System.
