Spring is more than four months away but Al Richmond says he is already worried that flooding in the Cariboo Regional District could be much worse than 2020. It's a new problem for most residents of this comparatively dry region of the province. Residents in areas at risk of flooding are urged to contact the regional district, monitor the Cariboo Emergency Operations Centre website for evacuation orders and alerts, and register for emergency notifications. On Wednesday the website included six evacuation alerts and three evacuation orders for landslide and flooding risks in the region.
