An expanded evacuation order has been issued by the Cariboo Regional District for the Kluskus, Blackwater, and Clisbako Area.
Due to immediate danger to safety due to fire, members of the RCMP or other groups will be expediting this evacuation.
The evacuation route is Blue Kluskus Forest Service Road to Kluskus Forest Service Road to Highway 16.
An evacuation alert has been issued by Cariboo Regional District for the Nazko #2 area (see map).
An evacuation alert has been issued to prepare you to evacuate your premises or property should it be required.
Residents will be given as much advance notice as possible prior to evacuation; however you may receive limited notice due to changing conditions.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN AN ALERT IS IN EFFECT
Upon notification of an ALERT, you should be prepared for the evacuation order by:
- Locating all family members or co-workers and designate a Reception Centre outside the evacuation area, should an evacuation be called while separated.
- Gathering essential items such as medications, eyeglasses, valuable papers (i.e. insurance), immediate care needs for dependants and, if you choose, keepsakes (photographs, etc). Have these items readily available for quick departure.
- Preparing to move any disabled persons and/or children.
- Moving pets and livestock to a safe area.
- Arranging to transport your household members or co-workers in the event of an evacuation order.
- Arranging accommodation for your family if possible. In the event of an evacuation, Reception Centres will be opened if required.
- Monitoring news sources for information on evacuation orders and locations of Reception Centres.
