The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry – Pembroke District, is advising area residents that a Flood Watch is in effect along areas of the Ottawa River until Friday, May 03, 2024.
A significant multi-day rain event is forecast to begin on Saturday April 27, 2024. Landscape conditions with dormant vegetation and saturated soils have limited capacity to store additional moisture. Although no widespread flooding is expected at this time, water levels and flow in rivers and lakes will increase, and flooding in low-lying areas and areas with poor drainage is possible. Residents and visitors in the area should keep a close watch on conditions and exercise caution around rivers and streams. Please alert and monitor any children under your care to possible dangers and supervise their activities. The ministry is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions. Further updates will be issued as appropriate.
