Flood precautions in Mansfield

4 May 2018 à 12:00 am

Following the rains and the rapid snow melt, the levels of the Coulonge and Ottawa rivers are continually rising with a potential to flood. The Municipal Council of Mansfield asks all citizens whose homes are located in high risk areas to take steps to ensure the safety of their family members and to protect their property.

Sandbags are available at the municipal sand pit located at 32 chemin Lac-de-La-Truite. The Municipality is asking citizens to ensure that the spaces at risk such as basements remain unoccupied overnight and to store the goods and furniture on the upper floors. Please ensure that dangerous chemicals and fuel tanks are stored in safe places to avoid them being washed away. Citizen leaving their domiciles for longer periods of time are asked to notify the municipality and leave their contact information.
