Evacuation alert lifted for phase 1 and 2

With the risk of flooding passed, the City of Merritt has announced that the Evacuation Alert for Phases 1 and 2 has been lifted.

Phase 3 and Phase 4 remain under an Evacuation Order as essential services are limited in these areas. Both of these phases have 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM access beginning today, Friday, December 3.

These extended hours provide the opportunity for residents to get back home to begin doing any cleanup or recovery work on their properties.

Outside of the day access hours, the Evacuation Order remains in place for Phases 3 and 4. ESS supports remain available to residents in these phases.
