Alert notices will be hand delivered door-to-door Monday. Residents should be ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

Flood warnings have also been issued in southeastern B.C. after last weekend’s severe thunder and rain.

As a result, the flood watch in the Boundary region, which includes the Kettle, West Kettle, and Granby rivers in Grand Forks, was upgraded to a flood warning on Monday. Such a warning is issued when the river has or will exceed its banks.
