Flooding forces 2nd 'immediate' evacuation order north of Oliver, B.C.


Flooding has forced the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen to order the evacuation of 33 properties Saturday, north of Oliver, B.C., in the second evacuation order in 24 hours. On Friday about 150 properties were evacuated along Osoyoos Lake because of the potential of a landslide on Inkaneep Creek. He said logging in the area may have contributed to the unstable ground that's now threatening homes and cottages in the northeast corner of Osoyoos Lake. An evacuation order issued by the Osoyoos Indian Band late Friday said that there is an "immediate danger to life, safety." Graham said the order affects about 100 to 150 homes and properties on Nk'Mip Road, including the Osoyoos Cottages along Radio Tower Road in Oliver.
