Estevan declares state of emergency

The Estevan Emergency Measures Committee has declared a state of emergency and is issuing an evacuation alert for Willow Park Greens trailer park.

The Saskatchewan Watershed Authority told the city to prepare for further potential flooding because they are increasing the outflows from the Rafferty Dam and Boundary Dam due to Friday’s heavy rainfall.

Estevan Police and fire department will be advising residents of the alert and providing further instructions.

Trailer park residents are asked to prepare for an evacuation and be prepared to leave.

In the event of an evacuation order, residents will report to the multi-purpose room at the Souris Valley Leisure and Aquatic Centre.
