That time of year again!
River Watch officially starts today, March 11. During the River Watch season, New Brunswickers should:
• Be prepared for possible flooding and have a plan to evacuate and be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours.
• Move belongings to higher ground if their property is near a waterway or is in an area that is prone to flooding.
• Report ice jams or rising water. If you need advice, contact the Emergency Measures Organization at 1-800-561-4034.
Disaster financial assistance from government is only available to help New Brunswickers for losses that could not be insured. Overland flood insurance is available. Contact your insurer for more information.
