The City of Courtenay has moved to flood watch operations within its boundaries as rain continues and river levels rise.
This proactive approach monitors conditions, checks infrastructures and ensures operational readiness should conditions worsen.
Residents are encouraged to prepare by clearing storm drains, assembling emergency kits and grab-and-go bags, and protecting their properties with sandbags.
Free sand and sandbags are available at the City of Courtenay Operations Centre, located at 1000 Piercy Avenue, and locations across the Comox Valley.
Stay away from fast-moving waterways and never drive through flooded roads.
