Following a significant landslide that dammed the Chilcotin River in British Columbia, a surge of debris and sediment-laden water is moving towards the Fraser River. Modelling indicates that river levels in Hope, B.C. will rise by approximately one metre, with flow conditions comparable to spring runoff expected in various locations downstream. Emergency services, including First Nations and provincial officials, are actively monitoring the situation as water from the breached dam reaches the Fraser River, which could exacerbate debris flow. Evacuation orders and alerts have been issued for areas near the Chilcotin and Fraser rivers, with concerns about potential further landslides due to unstable slopes. Authorities are preparing for various scenarios as the situation evolves, emphasizing the community's safety amidst the flooding. The response has involved collaboration between the provincial government and local experts to manage the crisis effectively.
