Remaining Evacuees From Saskatchewan Town At Risk From Flash Flood Can Go Home

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Jul, 2016 12:17 PM
    REGINA — All evacuees from a Saskatchewan town that had been facing the risk of a flash flood are being allowed to return home.
     
    The government's emergency alert app says a mandatory evacuation of Arborfield in the province's east-central region has been fully lifted.
     
    About 400 residents were ordered to leave their homes on Tuesday  when a road acting as a kind of berm gave way during heavy rain.
     
    The breach allowed water to gush toward the community.
     
    Some residents were allowed to go back on Wednesday, but others had to wait because there was still a risk to public safety in some parts of town.
     
    Heavy rainfall warnings have ended in the province, although isolated thunderstorms are still expected for the next few days.
