's Interior and North preparing for the worst, as river levels and flood risk rise. 's River Forecast Centre, says extreme weather in 2021 has caused erosion and sediment pileup along river banks, making them more vulnerable to flooding now. The River Forecast Centre has issued a flood watch for the Bulkley River and surrounding tributaries in B.C. Several rivers and creeks are also under flood watch in the southern Interior. A flood watch means that river levels are rising and will approach or could exceed bankfull, and that areas adjacent to the river may also flood.
