North Okanagan residents are being reminded to take preventative measures against flooding.
Warmer temperatures and an elevated snowpack could threaten homes along rivers or creeks.
Families are urged to have a Grab n’ Go bag prepared with supplies for at least a three-day period.
Bags should include things like a change of clothes, a flashlight, drinking water, snacks, medication and personal documents in watertight containers.
