Updated forecasts indicate significant rainfall over the next five days, combined with increased runoff from rain and snowmelt in the Haliburton-Reservoir Lakes region. As a result, water levels and flows are expected to rise rapidly, and flooding in low-lying areas is imminent, particularly along the Otonabee River.
Initially issued as a Flood Watch, the Flood Status was upgraded to a Warning on Friday.
Current conditions pose a high risk to public safety and may result in property damage in flood-prone areas. Residents are reminded to stay away from shorelines and dams due to hazardous conditions.
Residents are advised to monitor conditions and take appropriate action to protect themselves and their property against imminent or occurring flooding. Stay informed by monitoring weather updates and water levels or subscribe on our website to receive flood messages directly.
