SUBJECT: FLOOD WARNING- issued for all lakes and rivers within the watershed jurisdiction of Crowe Valley Conservation.

ISSUED TO: Municipalities, water management authorities, Indigenous
communities, Ministry of Natural Resources and Crowe Valley Conservation’s other partners in flood emergency management.

WEATHER: Recent and forecasted warm temperatures combined with rainfall are driving rain/snowmelt runoff.

FLOOD RISK: Continued rising water levels and increased flows are anticipated on lakes, rivers and their tributaries including low-lying flood-prone areas along Beaver Creek, North River, Crowe River and it’s tributaries.
