Being prepared for spring flooding is something everyone can do. Know the risks, create a plan and be prepared.
Out of an abundance of caution, and to encourage preparedness, a sandbag station has been set up on Engelmann Spruce Drive past the Mainroad Yard and Fire Hall #1. Sandbags are in the bin adjacent to the pile. Please bring your own shovels and gloves.
If you haven’t already, you can sign up for the Regional District of East Kootenay evacuation notification system, for evacuation alerts or orders within the East Kootenays. More information can be found here https://www.rdek.bc.ca/…/evacuation_notification_system/
Should an emergency arise, residents can find up-to-date information on the District of Sparwood website and Facebook page.
