The Evacuation Order, pursuant to Section 107 (1)(c) of the Emergency and Disaster Management Act, issued on January 30, 2024 has been downgraded to an Evacuation Alert for properties on Airport Road due to observed conditions, forecasts and favorable weather.
A Flood Warning is still in effect for the area and flows are expected to rise Wednesday through Friday with ongoing potential for flooding expected over this period. We encourage the area to only be used for essential purposes by businesses and property owners.
An Evacuation Order may need to be reissued for the properties in the Alert area; however, if that is deemed necessary, the Evacuation Order process will recommence.
Accordingly, the Village of Pemberton has rescinded the Evacuation Order, and an Evacuation Alert is now in effect for all properties including:
- 1643 Airport Road
- 1674 Airport Road
- 1690 Airport Road
- 1710 Airport Road
- 1730 Airport Road
- 1850 Airport Road
