Flood
Preparations
For the first time, the
Amphibex
machine has been brought in
to cut and break up the ice along the Fisher River, preventing ice jams
which causes the river to rise. Other preparations include ongoing
Sand Bagging
and dikes being placed around homes that are prone to flooding.
Chief Crate and fellow Council Members would like to extend sincere thanks and appreciation to all those involved in the flood preparations.
See the Amphibex in action.
