Heavy rain brings evacuation orders and flood warnings to B.C.'s south coast

Heavy rain on B.C.'s south coast has triggered evacuation orders and alerts, flood warnings and the shutdown of a water treatment plant. The Village of Pemberton ordered evacuations on Airport Road, including the airport, wastewater treatment facility and wildfire base, citing flooding and high-risk river levels. The Lil'wat Nation issued an evacuation order and alert along the Lillooet River corridor to Lillooet Lake. About 30 properties in Zeballos, on northwest Vancouver Island, remain under an evacuation order over flood and landslide risks. Orange rainfall warnings remain for west and inland Vancouver Island, Howe Sound and the Sea to Sky region.
