Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for the City of North Vancouver from Friday, October 18 to Saturday, October 19, 2024. Heavy rainfall, strong winds, and potential flooding is expected during this time.
Storm intensity is expected to escalate on Friday and reach its greatest intensity on Saturday between 5:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m.
During this period, residents are reminded to:
- Drive carefully - slow down and give yourself more time to get where you're going. Road conditions can be dangerous, pooled flood waters can look very different, and pedestrians can be difficult to see.
- Check catch basins near your home and clear away any leaves from the openings, as well as clear gutters of any debris.
- Stay clear of all creeks and rivers. Heavy rainfall results in higher water levels, and there may be elevated risks of flooding and debris flow.
- If you live near waterways, stay alert for changing conditions. Listen to your local media, check weather websites and follow instructions issued by local emergency officials.
- If you're in a low-lying area which is prone to flooding, consider having sandbags and other tools on hand. Think about clearing basements, garages, and crawlspaces in preparation for possible flooding.
The City has taken proactive measures to clear catch basins in known flood locations. City crews have also closed access to the Mosquito Creek Multi-use path due to anticipated river levels.
