Emergency Measures officials urge residents to heed any alerts as a precaution
A New Brunswick flag floats in floodwater from the Saint John River in Waterborough, N.B., on May 13, 2018.A year after record spring flooding in New Brunswick, officials say only Mother Nature knows if there will be a repeat this year.
“We all recall last year’s flooding event and given the impacts of that, the importance of these messages really can’t be overstated,” said Greg MacCallum, director of New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization.“To keep your family and property safe, you need to stay informed, be prepared and follow directions from official sources.”
However he said the potential for flooding will depend on the rate of melt and whether there are any rain events or ice jams. Last year, a rapid melt and two late storms that bought heavy, wet snow resulted in major flooding along the St. John River and its tributaries.
