The City of Abbotsford has downgraded the Evacuation Orders for Castle Fun Park and Clarion Hotel and Conference Centre, moving both properties to Evacuation Alert. Both businesses should remain prepared to evacuate at a moment’s notice, should conditions change.
Evacuation Orders remain in place for 75 properties, and 410 properties remain under Evacuation Alert. The interactive map, which is searchable by address, has been updated to show the status of all properties in the evacuation area, indicating whether they are under Order or Alert.
Rapid Damage Assessments continue for properties in the Evacuation Order area in hopes of lifting more orders later today. Residents and businesses impacted by the evacuations are encouraged to visit the Return Home information page for resources and guidance to support the return to their properties as they turn to agencies, insurers and other levels of government for support.
Staff in the Emergency Operations Centre and in the field continue to actively monitor river levels, dikes, roads and weather conditions closely.
The City of Abbotsford will continue to provide updates to residents at www.abbotsford.ca and on City social media channels.
