A government statement says the landslide Wednesday blocked the river that feeds into the Fraser River, and a sudden release of water ‘may cause rapid rises in river levels downstream along the Fraser River’ south
British Columbia ’s Ministry of Land and Water says personnel are conducting assessments near a landslide that blocked the Chilcotin River in the province’s Interior, including to understand risks that might exist downstream.
The River Forecast Centre has issued a flood warning for the Chilcotin River upstream of the landslide and a flood watch downstream. Evacuation orders issued Wednesday remain in place, covering 107 kilometres along both sides of the Chilcotin River, after the Cariboo Regional District said there was an immediate danger to life and safety due to flooding.
