The City of Courtenay has declared a local Flood Watch as rain continues and river levels rise.
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.
