Floods devastate Manitoba region prompting EMO alerts and road washouts
Disaster conditions strike as floods wash out roads and flood basements in Russell RM and Shellmouth area. EMO Coordinator Falkevitch issued a Phase Alert to regional officials two weeks prior and prepared sandbags, while residents bused children home and crews worked to keep routes passable amid the worst flooding in 20 years. 3,000 sandbags placed with 7,000 more planned. Langenburg declares emergency and ministerial helicopter surveys planned.
