[BCMA] evacuation alerts Sumas Prairie West and Clayburn Village

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

*The City of Abbotsford is issuing evacuation alerts for properties in
Sumas Prairie West and Clayburn Village*

This follows a Flood Warning issued earlier today by the BC River Forecast
Centre and further conversations with the Province of BC based on their
modelling information which shows that the flooding may be more than what
was seen in 2020 but not as significant as the 2021 event.

The City of Abbotsford remains in contact with Whatcom County. The Nooksack
River is expected to overtop its banks this afternoon and overflow water
will take approximately 7 hours to cross the Canada/U.S.A. border based on
past experience.  Read More Here:
