MD of Taber to end local state of emergency Friday evening
MD TABER – After nearly two months under a local state of emergency after unprecedented overland flooding, the MD of Taber’s local state of emergency will officially end at 9:05 Friday night (May 11).
Administrator Derrick Krizsan says there is still considerable flooding in some areas, and about 50 miles of damaged road is closed. Some of those roads may open in the next few days or weeks. Some of them may remain closed for several months.
He’s also asking the public to be respectful of the road closures until they’re determined to be safe for travel.
Kriszan says 831 overland flooding sites were identified by municipal crews with 465 of the sites were cited as damaged infrastructure, including culverts.
