Town prepares for high hazard season | High River Emergency Management
The Town of High River has begun its annual preparations for the approaching hazard season. This includes: - Assessments on all interim diking systems throughout town. All sandbags are being inspected, repaired and replaced as required to ensure that they can function as temporary flood mitigation measures if needed. - Temporary pumps have been staged along 12 Avenue S.W. The storm outfalls along 12 Avenue S.W. have also been plugged to keep water from passing through. The pumps are needed to pump out any standing water that may accumulate throughout the spring. - All emergency notification systems will be tested including the outdoor sirens and High River Alert system on Wednesday, May 3. - Staff training has been conducted throughout the year. Live Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) exercises will be held with Town staff throughout May. - The Town is in regular contact with Alberta Environment and Parks and receives updates from river forecasters on snow pack and river levels. Conditions are slightly above normal ranges for this time of year, however, it is important to note that snow pack level is not a reliable predictor of flooding. Residents can also view this information on the Government of Alberta’s website at https://rivers.alberta.ca including recent comments from river forecasters. High River residents are also encouraged to ensure they are prepared on a personal level, to learn more, visit the link below:
