Flood warning in Renfrew County

Flood warning in Renfrew County

9 May 2018 à 12:00 am

A flood warning is in effect in Renfrew County for the Madawaska River and the Ottawa River, downstream of Deep River, whose water levels and flows are increasing rapidly due to accelerated snowmelt and recent rainfall. As a safety measure, all residents must closely monitor conditions, regularly check for updated, and exercise caution around rivers and streams.

Residents of flood-prone areas should take appropriate measures to protect their property. Anyone who needs sandbags or assistance should contact their local municipality.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNR) – Pembroke District also recommends caution when using forest access roads for outdoor activities, as many are seasonally flooded and may be impractical due to current water levels.
