Travel warnings and road closures in MD of Taber due to localized flooding
TABER – A Local State of Emergency (SOLE) now covers the entire Municipal District of Taber, as thawing snow has created localized flooding near roads and intersection.
No evacuation orders are in effect for the time being. Residents should monitor the district website for updates.
Many roads have been impacted by high water flows and may be impassable and may not be barricaded. Motorists are warned to avoid driving on roads that are under water, as areas of wash-out may be hidden under the water.
