Central Coast Regional District orders Martin Valley evacuation
Change
The Central Coast Regional District ordered residents in part of Martin Valley (Electoral Area A) to evacuate immediately.
Why it matters
The evacuation order covers part of Martin Valley in Electoral Area A and requires immediate departure by affected residents. The regional district declared a state of local emergency, citing significant landslide and flood hazard risk. A separate evacuation alert covers another area of the hamlet because of current flooding and potential landslide risk from Mt. Caro Marion and requires residents to be prepared to leave on short notice. Evacuees are instructed to follow the provided evacuation route, secure doors and windows, gather family and neighbours, take critical items if immediately available, and register for support at Old Bank Inn in Ocean Falls.
