Evacuation Alert

Out of an abundance of caution, we are putting a wide swath of the High Level area and Mackenzie County area on an 8-hour evacuation alert.
This is due to shifting winds and dry conditions.
This means residents – located in Mackenzie County east of High Level, in areas north and south of the Peace River, including people in La Crete, Fort Vermilion and Beaver First Nation’s Boyer River and Child Lake Reserves – should start getting prepared to evacuate.
• Fuel your vehicles.
• Gather important documents.
• Have enough food and water for 2 to 3 days.
Not included in evacuation alert: Hutch Lake subdivision and Zama City.
Eastern boundary: Rural Road 120
Southern boundary: Township Road 1040
If a mandatory evacuation order is issued, bring medication, blankets, sleeping bags, personal items and identification.
