The River Forecast Centre has issued a High Stream Flow Advisory for the South Coast, including Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley beginning Tuesday morning through to Wednesday morning. Current forecast precipitation totals are typical for fall/winter storms in the region; however, the precipitation will likely be high intensity, falling in a relatively short period of time.
High stream flows and localized flooding are possible, particularly at lower elevations and in areas with poor drainage.
Residents are asked to:
- Keep children and pets away from stream banks and watch for changing conditions, particularly if you live in low-lying areas or near waterways.
- Riverbanks that look stable can be eroded beneath the surface, causing unstable ground that could collapse.
- Please ensure your catch basins are clear of debris and leaves. If you notice your catch basins are clogged, please call the Operations Yard at 604-853-5485 or report through our City app.
