SHELL RIVER HIGH WATER ADVISORY – VOLUNTARY EVACUATION NOTICE

Due to rising water levels along the Shell River, residents in low-lying or flood-prone areas are advised to consider voluntary evacuation if conditions become unsafe.

This is not a mandatory evacuation order at this time; however, residents are encouraged to monitor conditions closely and make preparations as necessary.

Residents who choose to evacuate are requested to contact the Municipality at (204) 937-8333 to report where you are evacuating from, where you are going, and to register for emergency management purposes. Due to high call volumes, if you are unable to get through immediately, please continue attempting to call until contact is made.

 

If residents evacuate after-hours due to flooding, please complete the Municipality’s after-hours ESS form at roblin.ca/ess.
