An evacuation alert affecting more than 2 thousand properties has been issued between two existing evacuation zones.
The new alert covers the area from Highway 97 West to Michelle Bazaeko Forest Service Road, between the Nazko evacuation order, an extension of the Tatelkuz Lake order issued earlier today, and the Narcosli Creek evacuation alert.
Communities inside of the new evacuation alert include: Nazko, Baker Creek, Blackwater, Ten Mile Lake, Cinema, Moose Heights, and Strathnaver, but only the portions on the west side of Highway 97.
Residents in the alert zone should prepare their family and essential items in case an evacuation alert is issued, and should continue to monitor the Cariboo Regional District’s website here.
