🚨 Flood Advisory – IR #3 (Raines Rd & Quaw-iss Ln)

Dearest members, we are sharing a flood advisory for community members living on IR #3 near Raines Road and Quaw-iss Lane due to rising water levels in the Nanaimo River.

⚠️ Residents in this area are encouraged to prepare to move to higher ground or stay with friends or family if needed.

Please avoid driving on Raines Road, especially in small vehicles. River levels may change quickly due to extreme tides and melting ice.

Today, Snuneymuxw Marine Emergency Response, Lands, Infrastructure teams are monitoring the situation closely and a copy of this notice has been sent door-to-door.

Thank you for looking out for one another 💛
