The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) has rescinded the evacuation order for Crawford Creek (Crawford Bay) in electoral Area A, Duhamel Creek (Nelson) in electoral Area F, and Salmo/Ymir in electoral Area G. The original evacuation order for the area was issued over the weekend; however, overnight our creeks and rivers have begun to recede and flow rates have reduced throughout the region allowing the order to be lifted. The area remains under evacuation alert.
Residents will be allowed to return to their homes, but are reminded to practice extreme caution. The potential impact in the area from flooding can include contaminated flood water, debris, and riverbanks either undermined or undercut. Be aware of any hazards when returning to your property and proceed with caution. If you have any issues with public roads, power lines, or gas lines, please contact Yellow Road and Bridge 1-888-630-1420, BC Hydro 1-800-224-9376 or Fortis BC 1-800-663-9911 directly.

The following Crawford Bay properties are asked to evacuate and report to the Kokanee Springs Resort, 16082 Woolgar Road in Crawford Bay, BC, V0B 1E0.
The order was issued on May 30, 2020.

“Short-term assistance for immediate needs of food, shelter, clothing and emotional support is provided by Emergency Social Services volunteers through this centre. Volunteers will be able to help you find an alternate place to stay if needed.” The RDCK added.
Make sure pets are secured in appropriate cages, and food and water/bowls for the animals as the hotel may not be able to accommodate your pet’s needs. Also ensure pets are tagged and wearing identification. Another option is to have pets cared for by family or friends.
For now, the RDCK asks everyone to stay away from riverbanks and fast-flowing water.
