An Evacuation Alert has been issued by the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) for the Tsetzi Lake Area.
The CRD says its Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) has issued the alert for 12 parcels, covering roughly 5,6654 hectares of land, and 1 structure in the Tsetzi Lake Area.
The alert is due to potential dangers to life and health from multiple wildfires in region.
Residents in Tsetzi Lake are asked to prepare grab-and-go bags in the case that an Evacuation Order is called.
The CRD says residents will be given as much advance notice as possible prior to evacuation; however, there may be limited notice due to changing conditions.
More information, such as what to include in a grab-and-go-bag, and what else to prepare in the case of an evacuation order, can be found on the CRD’s Emergency Operations Centre Facebook Page, and the CRD’s website.
